My first thought was to get some Chinese food because I hadn't had it recently.

I went online to place my order when I noticed they were closed on Tuesdays.

I hopped in my car and headed to the Taco Bell on Michigan Street which was out of beef, so I headed to a place I enjoyed when I first moved to Grand Rapids back in 2007.
