Any worries I may have harbored for the future of Bluegrass Bar and Grill–tucked away in what was once the ghostly quiet Jack London Village–melted away the second we turned into the parking lot.

BiteClub ran into owner Narayan Somname putting the finishing touches on the small, but what looks to be [...]
