the baked spaghetti with meat sauce and Philly pizza (10 inch) 😍 the best lunch from valentinos!
Valentino's: Bristol, TN (Philly 10" pizza + baked spaghetti with meat sauce)
this is my favorite order! the chicken is good, but the steak is even better. always ask for an extra plate to be able to manage it a bit better though.
steak bruschetta @ Mas Tequilla in Bristol, VA
one of my favorite desserts of all time! the way it's layered is just perfection. Blackbird has a drive thru location off of Exit 5 that you can snag one of these at if you don't feel like going all the way to the location off of State Street.
