Gass & Main (American BYO)

Jay & Ken met Karin & George for lunch at Gass & Main, 7 Kings Court, Haddonfield, NJ 08033 (973-721-3179), on Friday, August 25, 2023. We had a wonderfully delicious lunch. Reservations are recommended.

Shout out to Jennifer, who is such an attentive server. She is awesome!

We shared the following amazing dishes:

Brussels Chips - these are so good that they are the reason why Ken likes Brussels Sprouts now! Melt in your mouth deliciousness!

Fried Green Tomatoes - Jersey green tomato, chilled crab, dijonaise, pickled watermelon rind salad

Cilantro Lime Shrimp - grilled tiger shrimp, refried black beans, cilantro lime orzo, watermelon, jalapeno, tomato, green coriander vinaigrette

Gnocchi Mac & Cheese - truffle gnocchi, mornay, truffle peels, herb breadcrumb

Fried Korobuta Ribs - pastrami brined St. Louis ribs, sticky BBQ, pickled mustard seed, house giardiniera

Seasoned Fries - crispy goodness

Ken doesn't normally eat dessert, unless there is either apple, lemon, or banana, and even then he's picky. But he LOVES Bananas Foster and it is normally only served during brunch on the weekend, but Chef Dane was kind enough to make it as a special request. Ken was ecstatic and very appreciative. It was so good!
