Lunching at Black Hogg, Cantina Marmont, More!

SILVER LAKE— After opening, closing, then relaunching with a beer and wine license, W. Sunset Boulevard's Black Hogg has found its footing and chef Eric Park is ready to lunch. Titled "Sopressata at Black Hogg," the lunch menu here differs from Park's small plate dinner list with an emphasis on Italian sandwiches. Also, anyone who drops in this week for dinner will receive a gift card for a freebie sandwich. Lunch kicks off August 13. [EaterWire]
