Potato Chips

We were craving sandwiches so thought it would be a good idea to eat at Potato Chip.  Probably the best sandwich I have ever had, but I was extremely disappointed by their service.  It's sad that I will may never eat there again because of their terrible service, but they do have some delicious sandwiches.

The bacon went to Freid!

Over a month ago a friend of mine and I took a trip to the desert, but thought it would be smart to eat something before hand.  We decided to stop at Madame Matisse Cafe at Sunset Junction.  It is a cute little place, but I don't think the wait staff liked us very much.
