My only complaint is that they’re always so loud, but, I dunno, maybe they’re going for authentic busy French bistro [...]
I’ve always been a fan of veggie burgers since I discovered them.
I do love my hamburgers (homemade, not fast food burgers. Bleh), but sometimes I just want a veggie burger.
When I was a college student, one of the restaurants on campus had these really good veggie burgers and curly fries. *sigh* I [...]
