  • Piccone’s Corner

    Have you heard of Piccone’s Corner, the new butcher shop and restaurant on NE Sandy & 34th? It had been on my list for awhile and I finally checked it out this weekend for a late lunch.

Last year at this time I was down in the Yucatan and really enjoyed the food, culture and weather. This year, no fancy…
