I LOVE local fare, so this string of giveaways truly brings me so much joy. I hope it’ll bring some joy your way, too! Restaurant Week Day One will post tomorrow. Can’t wait to have yall join me in celebrating local food & drink faves over the next two weeks! 🥳 Also, shout out to @elle.kay.photo for this fun photo! She’s one of my favorite humans on this earth and is one heck of a photographer! Love you and your work, my friend! 😘
