After speaking about Aurora Market coming to Park View this morning, Cait was wondering what was up with Sonny’s and Doubles nearby on Georgia Ave?

In trying to come up with fun ideas for Super Bowl our head baker Ben Arnold wanted to get back to his roots and create a menu of pizza pies for Super Bowl Sunday.
