Go the Simple and Delicious Route with Dinner at Del Frisco’s Grille in Pasadena

It doesn’t take much for me to find a few things on a menu that I like. I think the same probably holds true for most people who enjoy eating out. If there’s an equation to making us happy when it comes to dining in restaurants the formula tends to include a combination of: nice

The last time I dined at the Four Seasons Hotel was also my first time. I was at Il Becco at the Four Seasons in Mexico City and the dinner was impeccable from the moment I sat down to the second they had to drag me out of the restaurant to go home. I get
