## About
The Fly Trap opened December 28, 2004. The name is a punchy homage to the space's predecessor, paired with "a finer diner" — the vision for the place. Specials are the "daily buzz," carry-out is "on the fly," and the bar is "bar fly." The restaurant was featured on Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives with Guy Fieri, which put the Ferndale spot on the national map.

## Signature dishes
- Green Eggs and Ham — poblano pesto, jack cheese, seared city ham
- Huevos Rancheros — two eggs, black beans, jack cheese, jalapeños, pico
- Cowboy Curtis — seared flank steak, two eggs, wildwest sauce
- Red Chili Salmon Burger — shaved cucumber, ginger lime aioli
- Weekly specials — a rotating set of chef specials, plus soup of the day and mini muffins, all synced from the restaurant's POS
