Lobster Fondue
I love this recipe for a party. It is elegant, delicious, and can be served on a buffet family style or served in individual portion sizes for a more formal dinner party. Aside from the lobster it is pretty cost effective and I have always found it to be a crowd pleaser. I recently made it as a special for my restaurant and the guests LOVED it. I hope you enjoy it!

Rubs have become the great secret ingredient.
