Bamboo From Spicy & Tasty
Spicy & Tasty is an excellent name for a restaurant, considering the spiciness and tastiness of the food they serve. Long-time readers will remember that I gave a shout-out to Spicy & Tasty in my favorites of 2012 post, and I made special mention of the “bamboo in hot spicy sauce” as one of the
