March 11, 2013 16 Handles

TJ’s on the weekend is like the 7th circle of hell, no joke: it’s crowded, people are leaving carts in the middle of the aisle and walking away, people are bumping into you, people are oblivious that there […]

September 10, 2012 LA Burdick
The iced hot chocolate…it’s a mystery to me. The consistency was thicker than an ice coffee but it wasn’t as thick as a shake. Here’s the description from the menu: “Hot Chocolate, Available in Dark, Milk and White Chocolate.
