Last week, police released news about thousands of credit card numbers being stolen from a retailer which they did not disclose (which I thought was ridiculous); finally this week they have come out and said that they were all stolen from the Little Italy Restaurant on 88th street. According to the Anchorage Daily News article, an independent security firm discovered that the assailants had installed software right on the credit card terminal in the restaurant!

I was intrigued to taste their new sandwich to see how it compared in size and taste to the very unique and successful Big Mac. (more…)

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009If you are like me, then you probably don’t go down to the Dimond Center food court expecting any great options for dining. So, as you may understand, I was pretty surprised when I spotted an L & L’s Hawaiian BBQ while doing some Christmas shopping. In my mind, L & L’s was a legend.
