Whenever
the
urge
to
‘brunch
up
without
fancying
up,’
hits,
I
head
over
to
a
seedy
little
dive
called
Hermosa
Inn/LON’s,
that’s
smack
dab
in
the
middle
of
a
patchy
clunk
of
mesquite
and
dust
called
Paradise
Valley.
When
you’re
slumming
here,
it’s
best
to
leave
those
elitist
Beemer
or
Bentley
behaviors
behind.
I
also
recommend
rolling
up
in
something
high
mileage/late
model
if
you’re
door
ding
or
high
probability
car
theft
averse.
Me?
I
always
employ
my
rough
and
tumble
Toyota
FJ
when
I
roll
around
this
part
of
town.
Okay,
you
caught
me!
I’ve
been
slightly
disingenuous
with
you
up
till
now.
Sorry
about
that.
THE
TRUTH:
They
say
that
perfection
once
blew
into
PV,
stayed
at
the
Hermosa,
ate
at
LON’s,
and
left
feeling
inadequate
in
comparison.
Since
then,
it’s
vowed
to
use
the
resort/restaurant
as
a
guide
for
how
it
can
do
better.
This
place
is
lovely
and
charming
and
unique
and
romantic
and
totally
reminds
me
of
being
in
Santa
Fe.
Over
many
visits
throughout
the
years,
I’ve
never
had
a
bad
meal
or
a
bad
experience
here.
I
recently
invited
my
sweetheart
to
LON’s
for
her
birthday
brunch
and
they
took
great
care
of
us—
and
she
loved
it.
When
the
weather
is
favorable,
you
can
enjoy
a
nice
drink
and
meal
under
the
expansive
canopy
of
a
100-year-old
Mesquite
tree.
When
the
weather
is
on
the
chilly
side;
you
know,
those
random
2
days
of
fall/winter
we
get
around
here,
you
can
warm
your
bones
at
one
of
the
cozy
fireplaces
near
the
bar.
So,
when
the
urge
to
‘brunch
up
without
fancying
up,’
hits,
roll
on
over
to
the
Hermosa
Inn/LON’s.
It’s
the
ultimate
way
to
get
your
slum
on!
