I go to lunch with a few of the guys at work from time to time. There are some people who seem to have issues when they go out to eat no matter where they are at. Our friend Jim is the one in our group that always had issues. Some people bring these things …
Bellacino’s was a new sandwich and pizza shop in town. The guys that I usually went to eat with during lunch at work decided to try it out. We walked into the shop and started reviewing the menu over the counter. If you wanted a sandwich, it looked like you could either get a half …
