First Look: Standard Pour

by Steven Doyle

Standard Pour is set to open its doors officially April 1, 2012.

Vegans do this, just like the omnis.

Most of my crew is a mixed bag of vegans, veggies and omnis; although I do have one or two meatatarians (seriously….they don’t eat veggies or fruit. No, I don’t know how they have survived this long, but I do know they have some serious health issues even though they are 10 years younger than me). Continue reading →
