Wednesday, May 2nd DUO Restaurant & Lounge along with 105.1 The Bounce hosted a Duo Dine & Blog Event. This was my first time visiting DUO and I must say, I enjoyed my time there.

Which contained mushrooms, broccoli, carrots and DUOs signature zip alfredo sauce. When I say this pasta was amazing, it was absolutely deli[...]

At that moment, nothing else seemed important, I was go[...]
