"While LA mourns the departure of the duo’s early venture Animal, Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo’s seafood outpost of their empire rolls on, with its famed lobster roll and other northeastern favorites. Add a little smoke to one of the Gun’s seafood dishes with either The Navy cocktail or a flight of The Lost Explorer Mezcal varietals (including Espadín, Tobalá, and Salmiana). Even with thousands of miles of separation, New England cuisine and Oaxacan mezcals surprisingly pair well together." - Robert Spuhler
