Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo's seafood shack in West Hollywood — shrimp toast, lobster rolls, and the fried chicken sandwich that started a thousand imitations
Son of a Gun is Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo's seafood-focused West Hollywood restaurant — a more casual companion to Animal that has been running strong since 2011 on the strength of a menu that makes seafood feel fun without dumbing it down. The shrimp toast is the canonical order: crispy, briney, finished with Sriracha mayo in a ratio that the kitchen has perfected over 15 years. The fried chicken sandwich, which helped catalyze the LA fried chicken sandwich trend before that trend had a name, is still the best version of the format. The lobster roll operates without apology in LA by making the case that a perfect New England lobster roll in the right room is worth the price. The energy skews casual and loud in the best WeHo tradition.
