When I started this blog I promised myself I would post at least one entry per week. That has not been the case. I have been struggling with a review of Latitude 41 for the past three weeks.

I promise I will get it done.<\/p>\n<p>I also have reviews of Thom&#8217;s on Grandview and The Clarmont in the works. These will not be full-blown reviews, because we didn&#8217;t have a full-course meal at either place.
