Mr. T goes on a lot of business lunches – which is sometimes tough when eating low-carb/keto. He has a few ‘usuals’ with some great adaptations which help him stay on track, but sometimes he asks for my help. I typically look up the menu and also yelp.com reviews and photos to narrow down some delicious options to choose from.

You might argue that it was our anniversary and we should splurge, but I do love a bargain…no matter the occasion! 😉 Continue reading Happy Hour @ Clarks’s Oyster Bar
