Expensive. May be way in over their heads for Sugar Hill. Anyone remember Kelly's that was by Kroger? We need another one of those type sandwhich shops for this location. Whatever happened to it anyways?

Just an FYI ~ the White House Chef has not worked there since the day they opened. So she is false advertising, and he has had NOTHING to do with the "bakery" since then!
