First Peek At Surf Lodge's New Summer '09 Menu!

[Surf Lodge's burger] Stanley and I spent yesterday in East Hampton, and, to say we are excited about the summer is an understatement.  Fitting that this morning, we get some news on what our favorite Hampton chef, Sam Talbot has been up to.  That's right, Surf Lodge in Montauk has a whole new menu (thankfully the popcorn Ceviche, Aussie Burger with fried egg, and Thai mussels are staying put). And we have the first copy of it below...
