One honorable mention from me, your author, is where I will be ordering dinner from tonight — Lola’s Burrito & Burger Joint. You already know I’m ordering the carnitas AND the Chooie’s Chimmy!
The community also alerted us to Chenile Brown. While Chenile is only one human, she sure has a huge following! Her name was mentioned multiple times. We found out Chenile Brown is the Owner and CEO of Chenile’s Kitchen LLC and she takes orders via social media.
