My mouth is watering…

by

Today begins spring break here at DMU. Not only does this mean the campus is quiet but it also means the cafeteria is closed.

I love lunching with my DMU marketing co-workers and so we’re working on our list of places to grab lunch this week. Juice had a piece about Tumea & Sons restaurant last week and I’m definitely hoping Tumea’s is on our list for this week!

This is a true-blue taste of Italy that will leave you smiling. I love their house dressing and any of their pasta dishes. I also love that it’s still a family-run business and customers are valued.

Read the review, trek over to the south side and taste it, then wipe the saliva off your chin!

    I think you’re obsessed with food. Not that it’s a bad thing… :)
