Parrot Cage Restaurant
The soup trio starter is a good way to try all of the soups on the menu.
The Parrot Cage Restaurant located in the historic South Shore Cultural Center gives students from Washburne Culinary Institute a chance to put what they’re learning in class to work. Diners become teachers as the students serve up their best, but do they make the grade? Listen in to find out.

The peach cobbler sure looked good, and it was tasty. But it wasn't the most successful dessert on the table.
Comments
Spite, eh? Well, it sounds like you got your just dessert, ordering that out-of-season peach cobbler. *wink*
Remind me never to visit that pecan pie place you all went to in Austin. I don't want little bits of me dying all over the country every time I'm not able to resist the siren call of pecan pie on the dessert menu. I mean, what a cruel fate that Austin pie place has set you two up for!
Thanks for another entertaining review. It kept my mind off the treadmilling, so for that, I give this podcast a 10.
