Santa Fe Bar & Grill will become Dr. Field Goods Bar & Grill under new owner Josh Gerwin, who owned the original Dr. Field Goods Kitchen. Gerwin took over Santa Fe Bar & Grill on Nov. 15, and the menu since early December was labeled Dr. Field Goods. “One hundred percent of the Santa Fe Bar & Grill menu is intact, and I just added a few of my favorite Dr. Field Goods items,” Gerwin said. He does not know when the exterior sign will reflect the name change.
