unique experience.\u00a0 The restaurants taut brightly colored, comic inspired, murals all over the walls (you can see an awesome timelapse video of the mural at my local location where the event was held <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4It8o5D0hhI\">here<\/a>) and a hot sauce bar to die for (quite literally if you don\u2019t have a high tolerance for spicy things).<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been a few times with the kids (though I\u2019ve yet to get hubby in there) and we\u2019ve always experienced great, fast and friendly service and enough food to feed an army at a reasonable
