2008Who woulda thunk it… But, man, did I have a good meal here tonight! After being a chump and going to the Addison Location, I remembered I was due at the Truluck's location off McKinney Ave – the former Fog City Diner… What a great space. Hardly changed from it's original design, it's visually – well, it's just VISUAL, and has a great vibe.
(L) We ordered at the handsome under-lit bar.
(R) Here's Levi, cool bartender dude. (He says you gotta see the Southlake location – I guess I'll have to trek out there…)
(L) Half of the freakin' delicious Hot-House Tomato Salad (w/ Applewood smoked bacon, shaved red onion, creamy Buttermilk dressing and fresh dill).
(R) The North Atlantic Jonah Crab Claws.
(L) Uhh – Live Butter-Poached Norwegian King Crab – TDF. …and Creamed Leeks!
(R) Really yummy Prince William Sound Sockeye Salmon w/ spicy gazpacho and creamy fine herb sauce.

My Moms took me out for a belated B-Day lunch… I thought we’d check out Gottlich‘s new joint… Second Floor at the newly renovated Westin Galleria.

2008We started with a tasty bit of Charcutterie, then split a Caesar Salad and the Salmon BLT… Alas no Salmon, so they subbed Skate Wing, making for an interesting sammich. Pretty yummy – Good texture on the bread, just right goopy tartar dressing, tasty bacon – the skate had substantial bite.
We also shared an OK Mushroom Risotto.
Really cool room, should have a nice bar scene at cocktail hour – will come back and check it out…
Scott Gottlich arrived near the end of our late lunch and scampered into the kitchen, backpack in tow… Wonder what we had hiding in there?!
