Restaurant Review: I Only Know How to Stretta
The morning after the Innis & Gunn Pairing at Stretta Cafe, I recalled the infamous quote by Linda Evangelista when she said : "I don't get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day" That morning I had a quote of my own, "I Only Know How to Stretta". Good gracious what an evening. …
