Many many years ago, I was introduced to this “new” burger placed called Red Robin. There weren’t very many of them in our area, and everyone I talked to said it was “SO GOOD” and they had neverending steak fries. I was in! On one of our very early dates, Adam and I met for [...]
It all happened in a food-induced blur: I volunteered to host the next meeting of the Traveling Pans way back in March. Sure, I could host in June! Sure!
