Morgenstern's American Egg, Toast, and Peaches 'n Clotted Cream Ice Cream: Went back to Morgenstern's to try a few more of the flavors exclusive to their new 88 Houston location. The American egg is one of the few ice cream flavors on the Morgenstern's menu made with actual eggs (they are a largely egg-less ice cream shop, unlike most ice cream makers), and the flavor is meant to taste more like an egg custard than a savory egg dish.

I purchased mine from the Shake Shack on Newbury Street in Boston. The amount of lobster was fair for the price (at $8.99 a burger) and while the texture of the lobster was good, it didn't hold up to the flavor of the burger (mine was overlooked, no pinkness in sight).
