This is the second year the owners have created a special menu for the month. A little backstory about the restaurant is that the Chef has been seen on the Food Network as Alex Guarnaschellis sous chef on Iron Chef America. I will say the food there is amazing. </p>
<p>Here are the pictures of our meal. </p>

<p>It&#8217;s now early Saturday evening and I am on my way home from the last parade of the season. It&#8217;s bittersweet because I enjoy marching but won&#8217;t miss the craziness and antics of the members. I mean I will still see them every week at practice but it&#8217;s not the same as being trapped on a bus with them for a few hours. Below is some video I took of the first bagpipe band that marched by while we were waiting our turn. </p>
