Dear SOS: This past weekend we had dinner at Ed & Fred’s Desert Moon Restaurant in Lexington, Ky. Everything was outstanding, and their peanut coleslaw was fabulous! Can you get the recipe?

Dear Shirley: This “new American eclectic” restaurant (named for the fathers of the original partners) serves lots of contemporary sandwiches -- such as grilled salmon BLT. Chef and co-owner Doug Eifert developed this spicy-sweet Asian-influenced slaw to serve on the side. The nappa and red cabbages give it a great fresh look.
