Hey foodies!

Welcome (or welcome back) to another edition of the tastiest email you’ll get all week.

There’s been so much deliciousness that’s been devoured by the community lately, so we’re trying something a little different in today’s newsletter. We normally list out 5 places to try, this time we’re going a little deeper.

If you love it, let us know at the bottom of the email. If you hate it, let us know too… and come back next week where things will be normal again.

Forks down, let’s go.

P.S. The most clicked thing in last week’s newsletter was the story about why The Good Wolf Cafe & Co closed.
