Fourth was demolished by an EF5 tornado. “The good news is that our employees who were in the restaurant at the time the tornado hit managed to walk away without a scratch,” co-owner Mark Shuman said. “After […]

Get in line
My food history is all backward. In high school, my brother and I begged my mom to make meat loaf, because we wanted to know why so many people hated it. (We loved it.) I first tried asparagus and Brussels sprouts as a college student and have come to savor one and tolerate the other. […]

Positively posh
By: Mark Hancock The first clue you’re entering a ritzy establishment is the high-dollar iron parked in Legend’s lot. Spotted when I went were a sleek Mercedes-Benz, new Cadillac and late-model Corvette.
