What's the best way to cap off a 35-year restauranteur career? With the opening of a self-named restaurant, of course. Brian Gump is debuting his B. Gump's 101 Restaurant and Lounge this month in the Southbriar Plaza. The new venture takes the spot formerly occupied by Southbriar Restaurant, with three chefs throwing their creativity into the pot, including 6-year Las Vegas veteran Raymond Blanchong. Expect new takes on steakhouse classics, like coffee-and-cinnammon rubbed sirloin, a completely revamped "really slick" interior, and live music, Gump says.
