A Real Man’s Soup of the Day…

I usually pass on the soup of the day, which tends to be something normal and boring anyways, but I never pass on whiskey. That being said, I’ll gladly take this place’s soup anytime.

Just How Hungry Are You?
Posted by: Dutch Mechanic on June 24th, 2009Ever offer to plate some food for a friend and ask them how hungry they are only to get a mixed response or not know exactly how much “very hungry” translates to in hamburger helper?
