Come-and-get-it counter service leads to big orders of thick-crusted onion rings, crisp and sweet and piping hot, and a grilled wedge salad that’s cut in two, its outer leaves lightly seared, its center globbed with blue cheese dressing, chopped tomato, and bacon bits.

It’s as full-figured as a voluptuous señorita, the broth gorged with soft zucchini, celery, green pepper, fall-apart-tender beef, onion and corn-on-the-cob halves. Lulu’s also charms with homemade tortillas, seafood cocktail, and a fresh […]

The wheels were clearly turning when cupcake flavors like Cotton Candy (strawberry cake topped with vanilla buttercream and cotton candy crunch), Hot Fudge Sundae (chocolate cake with chocolate chips topped with vanilla buttercream, rich dark chocolate fudge icing, sprinkles, and a cherry), and Dark Vader […]
