National Lobster Newburg Day is observed worldwide every March 25 to celebrate the rich and flavorful Lobster Newburg dish, which features a sauce made from cream, butter, egg yolks, and sherry. The sauce was created by a chef at Delmonico Restaurant and named after sea captain Ben Wenburg, who was a frequent patron. After a dispute with the restaurant manager, Wenburg requested that his name be removed from the menu, leading to the sauce being renamed Newburg. On this day, food enthusiasts often prepare Lobster Newburg or explore various recipes that include the essential ingredients of sherry, yolks, butter, and cream, with optional seasonings like nutmeg, white pepper, or paprika. The holiday highlights the culinary significance of this classic seafood dish.
