The first Cali location of Chi-town's eclectic American grubbery's got floor-to-ceiling windows and hardwood floors, all around a modern-looking, rounded wood bar with 30 beers on tap; grub includes grilled marinated skirt steak w/ chimichurri sauce, avocado and tomato salad; a Wagyu burger w/ goat cheese, arugula, wild mushrooms, and grilled tomato on brioche; and the appetizer surf and turf roll, which features avocado, crispy onions, and cream cheese stuffed in with shrimp and steak, also the title of a soon-to-be released reality show in which Brody Jenner and Gary Coleman drive around in a very small car.
