9 Favorite Dining Spots
Food is a necessity. We need it to survive and thrive throughout our lives. Besides the need for sustenance, we were also created to enjoy food. Our taste buds allow us to enjoy an assortment of flavors from sweet and sour to salty and bitter. Food is also at the center of where we celebrate some of our most momentous occasions with family and friends.
