Greg's Allegory of The Monster
While drinking Monster Energy Drink through a jumbo Red Vine, I had two epiphanies:
1. I had discovered a way to make Monster taste even worse than normal.
2. Necessity is the mother of invention, but not all inventions are a success. Just because something is comfortable and expedient, it isn't necessarily good. The next time we purchase a meal, we should ask ourselves - is it good, or is it just comfortable?
B29 Streatery, bringing comfort, expediency and a great culinary experience to the Boise area, and we don't even need a linen napkin.
