Don't be afraid of the swine
This is stating the obvious but just in case…Team Swine should be reminded that swine flu cannot be transmitted by eating swine! The World Health Organization agrees.

Same menu, totally different seasons. Food is just not that good. Underseasoned. Had to send my pork Tbone back bc it was raw the first time I went. Second time, got a veggie spread and it was bland and...
