Good or bad surprises count.
I’ll go first: LP Street Food never looked very good to me, I avoided trying it for years. Turns out they actually have a pretty interesting menu, most of it as well executed, and a great patio where you can just hang out with the family and have a beer and some snacks and ice cream for the kids.
Taste of India! Looks like a pretty plain place on the outside, but the inside is amazing, and the food, probably the best Indian meal I’ve ever had.
Also need to give shoutouts to Emil’s Hideaway!
