We challenged chefs of three different skill levels - amateur Emily, home cook Beth, and professional chef Danielle Alex of Diversity Kitchen - to make us their best lobster roll. Once each level of chef had presented their creation, we asked expert food scientist Rose to explain the choices each chef made along the way - both good and bad. Which lobster roll has you pining for a day at the beach?
