Want a nice grilled sandwich but you’re tired of burgers (or don’t eat them at all?). Look no further! Chef Michael Haimowitz of Arthur’s Landing restaurant shared his recipe for grilled lobster sliders and with spicy avocado mayo. Not sure what a slider is? It’s a tiny hamburger like the ones most popularized by White Castle (Yum! I wish they were in Canada!).
