Actually, there are not a lot of things on the menu, it only consists of smoked pork ribs, grilled chicken, veggies pizza, mashed potatoes, and vinegar salad.

Perhaps because there are limited options on the menu, that means all the things on the menu are super well-cooked and the chef is confident in that list.
