I gravitate toward flavor and typically enjoy seasoned/spicy food. So, when I ordered the Zesty Feta Chicken Wrap, I was expecting a little zip. I was caught completely off guard by the heat in this wrap. Zesty would have been a good description of about 1/4 of the spice in this meal.

This place is a staple. I've been coming to granny's for decades and it's only getting better and better. My go to is the Eggs Benedict and the crapes.
