We don’t know what got into us, but we just had to make some changes. “Out with the old, and in with the new!” we say. But don’t worry, we’re not that dramatic. We’ve kept the classics in rotation, but our Executive Chef JoJo Ruiz was itching to try out some new creations, and if we didn’t trust him then he wouldn’t be running the show, now would he?
