Fact: guns are a hot topic right now and the spike in school shootings is unfortunate. False…

opened about two weeks ago in downtown Winter Park. Usually new restaurants are disorganized, employees have no idea what they are supposed to do, and the managers are frequently unsure of their business structures as well. I was not expecting too much, but since it was a restaurant a friend of my host parents recommended I was hoping for a good experience. From outside the restaurant looked very clean, pretty, and welcoming. When we walked inside it was surprising. Compared to other burger…
