The Architect’s Kitchen: Blueprints for Fried Chicken and Doughnuts?

Some people say that you can create romance by highlighting your environment; a sort of curb appeal. Although there’s nothing romantic about eating in a parking lot, there have been moments when the food you’re consuming transforms you elsewhere.
