Melissa Bouchard has been cooking professionally for the DiMillo family for 15 years. She was promoted to head chef six years ago.
What color should your lobster be? How can you tell if your lobster is fresh? What is the most humane way to kill a lobster?
Last summer, on a visit to Portland, Maine, I met with Melissa Bouchard, executive chef of Dimillo's on the Water, to get the answers to some of these questions.
Bouchard, a Maine native, was named the Maine Restaurant Association's first female Chef of the Year in 2013. Her kitchen kills close to 150 live lobsters every day to feed droves of summer visitors who funnel in from Commercial Street, the tourist hub in the city's Old Port district.
The head chef and her staff showed me how to steam a Maine lobster, and the right way to eat it.
