We interrupt this Arizona weekend recap to bring you breaking news of an exciting dinner we just finished.  Chef Marcus Samuelsson of Red Rooster cooked at Son of a Gun tonight.  He is touring right now to promote his new book Yes, Chef: A Memoir.

Because this is breaking news, I present to you some beautiful...iPhone photos!

Huge thank you to my brother for getting us this reservation.  So sad that he couldn't come because he had surgery on his Achilles tendon today.  (Don't worry; the surgery went well!)  Thank you to the Oros for joining us!
