He, along with a couple of his associates, really made us feel that we had been suddenly transported to a place where "Everybody

Had the smoked wings and the rabbit pizza crust was crispy topped with a pletura of veggies, my daughter had burger with bacon and an egg on top served with some potato chips on the side. One drawback the food looked wonderful but again there was little seasoning on the chicken or the pizza.
