text-align: left;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">First appetizer was the famous Ripe Plum Tomato Flatbread With roasted garlic, sweet basil and Parmesan cheese.\u00a0 The crust was pretty thin so you don&#8217;t have to feel bad about the carb intake.<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;

at all but the corn relish definitely had a little punch.<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-Ut1L-UEuOIk\/TlGKNCar-1I\/AAAAAAAAAPg\/MYR06aVnxNQ\/s1600\/Collages5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-Ut1L-UEuOIk\/TlGKNCar-1I\/AAAAAAAAAPg\/MYR06aVnxNQ\/s640\/Collages5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"640\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;
