Fashion a la carte

Amanda Hunt, NBC5 Street Team

The most wonderful thing about going out to dine is satisfying your craving for pleasure.  Whether it’s dessert and wine or a full course meal, nothing is more pleasant to the senses then the chance to see, taste and smell a well-prepared dish.  The same goes for fashion.
