Ever wonder where you might find those unique finishing touches for dinner, like specialty olive oil, finishing salts and the like?

It was pretty neat.

Want to talk about neat, though — that’s the whole story behind The Savory Pantry and the restaurant that came before it, The Pancake Shop. Read more about both ventures over at Tie Dye Travels.
