When I do reviews, it’s not to report everything that goes wrong but rather to highlight what you should order when you go. I have three recommendations:
First, order the Yucca Fries. Everyone at the table was totally ‘wow’d’ by them.

And last, order the Bread Pudding for Dessert.

I thought my daughter was a little over the top when I saw her rinsing the produce in baking soda. But actually, kids today (in their 30’s) with their own kids are really protective and on top of things.

Now I promised I will give up something for all of July. The hardest for me is Pasta. No wait! I think it’s actually sugar (think of all the sugar in a Mai Tai). I love a good Mai tai. And pasta converts to sugar anyway. So sugar it is!
Pick your poison and let’s wipe it out for July. Please let me know what you experience!

I won’t kid you …. Food poisoning from vegetables? It’s a little scary to me. And of course I wonder how much is real and how much is a scare tactic to get you to read what they are writing. We all know that fear sells right?
