Food Scene
BBQ to die for! This place is so in-demand there is often a line during lunchtime. When it's gone, it's gone, so don't hesitate to line up. If you're lucky, you might even time it right to get the Refugee Plate -- a specially priced meal of whatever happens to be leftover near the end of service. The best price and so much variety, you never know what you'll get! Just two blocks from the cottage, so there's no excuse not to go.
