We look forward to our Friday nights with Chris Chef. Love that dinner is not rushed, we enjoy new wines we would not have otherwise discovered, and eat tasty meals made from scratch. The baby artichoke appetizer is one of our favorites, along with the fresh salads and ragu bolognese. Quality Foods is our go-to at least twice a month. If you haven’t been, you’re missing out.
