BAD MOTEL

Edibles Oct 31, 2013

With a name like BAD MOTEL you’d expect either something really awful or something really amazing.  Luckily, this BAD MOTEL is the latter.  After hearing so much about it for the past few months I made the quick decision to host my birthday dinner there.  Risky since I had never been before- never eaten there […]
