Posted by in Featured, Junk Food & Treats

As a public service, I usually (not all the time) try out whatever new crime against nature product from Lotteria’s great minds. What really got it rollin’ was a text message from Wine Korea’s Joshua Hall saying something like, “You gotta try this!” Already I felt a little safer about this one...
