Restaurant reviews – the opinions expressed are solely my own. Often, though it will appear that they’re based on a single visit, they’re based on more than one. And I’m willing to hear from folks who disagree – I do know that restaurants, including my own, have their off days.
When last we left off on our Great Sandwich Hunt we had new winners in the chicken and pork categories. Now, since that post I haven’t received a single suggestion for another “you must try” sandwich – hard to believe that we’ve exhausted all the good ones out there, so come on with those ideas!… Read More The Great Sandwich Hunt 5
