Good Eats Quickie

Ok, I'm on the run these days so a quick update -- loved recent eats at the following:
- BBQ ribs at the Station Inn
- Local Taco brisket taco and guac
- curried chicken salad at Cafe Coco's
- kale from The Produce Place
- Lunch special at Peter's Sushi for only $9 I got 2 rolls, soup and salad - and it was delicious and fresh!
