    brunch review: ted’s bulletin

    February 16, 2018bestwithchocolate@gmail.com

    I thought it was about time that I shared another review, it’s Ted’s Bulletin that’s up!  We went there for breakfast with a group of friends before hitting up the Herndon Escape room (apparently I’ve gone enough that they recognize my name now…hah).  But this was a deeeelish pre-Escape Room snack!  And we did escape…I’m just saying.  It did take us a while to get seated since there were 6 of us and they only do call-ahead reservations which was a little frustrating since we ended up being a couple minutes late the escape room, but it all worked out.…
