When my cousin suggested we grabbed dinner at Lat14 Asian Eatery I was all in, because back before it opened I would drive by it to and from work everyday just waiting to go…and then, as happens, I got a new job and was never on that side of town again. So I’m almost embarrassed to say this is my first time there, but better late than never!

StandardWe are having the best summer finally experiencing restaurants we’ve been talking about going to for what feels like ever. After two years of pandemic takeout and sticking to the same places (some would say sticking to the rivers and the lakes that we’re used to #IYKYK) it just feels like we’re finally getting back to experiencing life.
I’m embarrassed to say that Handsome Hog has been on my list since it was in its first location so it’s taken me damn near a decade to get there 🤦♀️. I’m happy to report, that brunch was everything I’ve been dreaming it would be, but jokes on me, because now Handsome Hog is back on the list for dinner.
