Believe it or not, there is a US Grooming Team. And, after only two years competing, my wife came in 3rd this year (she was 6th last year). The top 5 will travel to Belgium next fall to compete internationally. She also made the copy of the October issue of Groomer to Groomer (she's the one in...

All the suggestions here are good. I like Giovanni's Pizza. My favorite burrito place is Dos Hermanos; get the number 3 breakfast burrito with chorizo and red chile. One note: everybody has there favorite New Mexican restaurant, so again, you can't miss with what everyone has suggested. A...
