    Son of a Gun {restaurant} - Lunch

    Day One of Son of a Gun's lunch service on Day 2 of 2012 means I don't start my New Year's resolutions until Day 3...

    Tried everything on the menu we haven't seen (and eaten) before on the dinner menu. Two words: Oyster Loaf.

    Smoked Trout Salad - new

    Son of a Gun lunch: smoked trout salad

    Beet Salad

    Beets, apples, pecans, blue cheese, gem lettuce $10. I forking LOVE this salad. (But I'd also love to see a heartier "main dish salad" suitable for a light+liquid lunch at the bar. A Son-of-a-Gun-ified Nicoise, maybe?!)
