Post brunch bliss at the Luna Mansion<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On Sunday, July 19, 2015, FOG convened at the fabulous Luna Mansion Landmark Steakhouse<\/a> in beautiful downtown Los Lunas for a delicious brunch. The diverse group enjoyed such decadent deliciousness as lobster Benedict, eggs and hash browns, prime rib burrito, New York steak and Linguine with a Red Chile Cream Sauce. Several of us enjoyed the Maytag Wedge.<\/span><\/p>\n
