Todd English — the chef/owner of Olives and the four Figs restaurants, all in and around Boston — was named Best Chef in the Northeast by the James Beard Foundation. He's also the author of two cookbooks. For his "clambake" extravaganza, you'll need a grill with a lid.
How to Grill A Clambake:
• The seaweed is crucial, because the meal cooks by being steamed over seaweed just as it does in a sand pit at the beach.
• Shellfish often comes packed in seaweed; so, when you buy lobsters, ask for the seaweed.
• Use only the freshest shellfish.
