Old City BBQ (Williamsburg, VA)

For my birthday this year, it was Williamsburg, VA we explored.

Joey Chops Take Two (Malvern, PA)

Joey Chops was so impressive the first time around, I was excited to go back. I kept saying I would make it back to happy hour to give it more of a try but I never did until now… the only mistake was doing happy hour before the dinner reservation. But looking back, it reallyContinue reading “Joey Chops Take Two (Malvern, PA)”
