los angeles: son of a gun

tommy cannot get enough of son of a gun...

gloucester scallop, yuzu kosho, pickled shiitake

ora king salmon, jerk spice, kiwi, palm sugar vinaigrette, habanero

lemonfish poke, black radish escabeche, citrus, crispy sunchoke

uni burrata, button mushroom, yuzu

lobster roll, celery, lemon aioli

black sea bream, pho fumet, herbs, lime, bok choy

shrimp toast sandwich, herbs, hoisin, sriracha mayo

skate wing, baby broccoli, mascarpone, pancetta vinaigrette

frozen lime yogurt, graham crumble, toasted meringue 

tommy says:  scallop, salmon, lemonfish were all beautifully delicious, perfect amounts of acid on all.  the lobster roll is pretty much perfection on a plate, except for the size - next time i'm getting a dozen and not sharing.  sea bream broth was fantastically flavorful.  shrimp toast was a bit on the greasy side, but that wouldn't stop me from ordering it again.  dessert was a deconstructed version of a lemon meringue pie, but so much better.  what is there left to say?  son of a gun is amazeballs.
