Once there was a restaurant in Raleigh N.C. called Irregardless. It was, how do I say it…….. the last place that you wanted your mom to take you for dinner. Healthy…… yuck !!!!!!!! Then out of nowhere you develope a sense of taste. And as time goes on you start to test the limits of your taste buds…. And all of a sudden you don’t think your mom is that crazy after all . This ones for you Mom.
