After getting takeout coffee from Rumors European Café, I saw this Vietnamese restaurant tucked away in the corner diagonally behind the café – Le’s Kitchen. They took over the spot where Mima’s Meatballs & More used to be. Since we rarely venture out on Mill Plain Road, Le’s Kitchen pretty …
This is Le Madri. It used to be Julliano’s. Before that, it was Tonelli’s. Now 41 Grassy Plain Street is reborn as Le Madri under the helm of the new owner Chef Vinicio Llanos. I was invited to a dinner recently with other influencers to try the food there. It …
Disclosure: I attended this food event for free in exchange for writing a review on this blog. While this is a sponsored post, all opinions are my own. Last Saturday, hubby and I were in Greenwich, CT for the 2017 Greenwich Wine + Food Festival held at Roger Baldwin Park. …
