From a Friend of Le Creuset...

 

I was at a new restaurant in downtown Los Angeles today ans was pleasantly surprised to see them using our 7.5 rounds on their presentation line.

 

The manager gave me permission to take a couple of shots and I'm passing them along for a possible association with the restaurant, called Mendocino Farms, or to possibly post on the company website showing our product "in action".

 

Here is the link to the restaurant'sw webiste - I had the Shrimp Po Boy with Roasted Butternut Squash soup, by the way, it was delicious!
