Sunday, September 30th, 2007

I haven’t been to Bobby Flay’s Mesa Grill but I would dare say this restaurant is a great find as well.

Stephanie and I got…[Uh, yeah sorry for the interuption.  Here is an update:]

Backup

 We called US Foods & Sysco but to no avail.  Neither could produce a trailer with refrigeration(freezer capabilities) at 4pm in the afternoon (which… Continue reading
