Al Gore's Interweb

Just for food has an intresting blog highlighting stuff going on around VA Beach I believe. And he just gave us a nice mention. Which brings me to the point god Bless Al Gore and his wonderful interweb for making us all connected with out ever meeting. Josh and his crew and Me and my Crew will be doing a guest chef dinner at Local Roots in Roanoke and before I started reading his blog we probably would have never met. He has since come up for the potter dinner and invited us down for this guest chef gig it should be a blast.
