Since getting this wonderful chef 3 months ago, Chef Wannisha Harris, I simply say the food is amazing and that she truly has a magical cooking ability. When I eat sometimes I feel like I'm getting a big hug. Thank you Chef Harris AND all the cooking staff under you. When a person's stomach feels comfort and warmth in the food they eat they are truly happy. Keep up the good work Chef Harris and kitchen staff. Thanks much!
