  So Sunday we were out an about running errands and decided to try someplace new for us. This Huey Magoo's is located next door the the Culver's that we blogged about previously.  We hadn't eaten here but who doesn't like chicken tenders. So we wanted to see what it was all about.

Our Culver's is located at 4591 Power Center Lane near the Mall of Millenia, by a strip mall that houses Academy sports and Costco. We go here almost every time we are in the area.

So while our experience here is always wonderful, we did stop at one near Tampa and the experience was not the same. For being...
