Whether you're avoiding animal products, have a shellfish allergy or simply love hearts of palm (we do), don't let the season pass by without having a vegan lobster roll.

"The by CHLOE lobster roll has been such a huge hit at our Fenway and Seaport locations in Boston," says co-founder and creative director Samantha Wasser.

They're running a special at locations around the country for Labor Day weekend — don't miss it! And maybe start stockpiling hearts of palm, you're going to want to recreate this at home.
