Because butter and garlic are amazing and taste great on anything, even nasty sea creatures.

Lobster is just an expensive excuse to eat melted butter. Just eat some bread with butter and put some garlic butter on the steak.

I just had lobster Mac and cheese. Not really a fan of lobster. Seems a little overrated IMHO. You don’t love lobster, you love butter.
