Creator's Key Takeaways

It's the one place I go back to over and over again.

The quality here, the quality, the variety of the food, the quality, and the exceptional service is really what sets it apart.

I absolutely love it. So, yeah, Nasty Mountain is higher price point... it's worth every single penny.
