2011 Taste Test year in review

Follow Lorraine on Facebook
We slurped oysters, and sucked down milkshakes. Dissected pies and tucked into a pile of fried chicken. We traveled clear across South Hampton Roads at the crack of dawn to sample omelets and got up early again for biscuits and gravy. We rated ribs and dipped guacamole and ate a whole lot of fro yo. It was a delicious year in The Pilot's taste test department.
