Two years ago it was good. Things might have changed a bit and you can report back to us after your visit.

We had a thick feed of Shrimps there. But if you don't eat this stuff, then, try their corn balls.

Some of these guys are down sizing and started to sell around last Christmas. I am not sure how they are doing during this recession. Suits were going for $100.00 US and for those who want a few for their day to day casuals this was a great bargain, I was told. (By my friends there)

Please find out how they fixed the tunnel while you are there. It was an interesting job.

Have a good trip.
