Hashtag, You’re It!

One thing became clear the moment I opened the menu at Hashtag. Behind the playful graphics, funky furniture and fun atmosphere was something much more serious. Someone really knows how to cook! Everything I ordered was delicious. Take the burger. Bread, meat and cheese. No mustard, ketchup, lettuce or even pickles. Sounds pretty basic, right?
