We challenged chefs of three different skill levels - amateur Emily, home cook Beth, and professional chef Danielle Alex of Diversity Kitchen - to make us their best lobster roll. Once each level of chef had presented their creation, we asked expert food scientist Rose to explain the choices each chef made along the way - both good and bad. Which lobster roll has you pining for a day at the beach?

Level 1 cook: Home cook on a budget. Probably just graduated college or is in college. Knows a simple but effective recipe. Level 2 cook: Grandma that has probably been cooking for the family for years. Has probably made this dish for years. Level 3 cook: Professionally trained chef that has every resource possible and then some to go above and beyond to make this dish.
