Lobster Newberg

Encyclopedia : L : LO : LOB : Lobster Newberg

---

Lobster Newberg is a seafood dish made from lobster, butter, cream, and eggs. The dish was invented by Ben Wenberg, a sea captain in the fruit trade. He demonstrated the dish at Delmonico's Restaurant in New York City to the manager, Charles Delmonico. After refinements by the chef, Charles Ranhofer, the creation was added to the restaurant's menu as Lobster á la Wenberg and it soon became very popular.

An argument between Wenberg and Charles Delmonico caused the dish to be removed from the menu. To satisfy patrons' continued requests for it, the name was changed to Lobster á la Newburg (swapping the positions of the "w" and "n") or Lobster Newburg.
