European Adventure: Day 14 - All Day Meal - Cocina Hermanos Torres

Thanks to a Facebook post from Michelle and Mary, we booked a lunch at Cocina Hermanos Torres. The key thing to note is this is essentially an ALL DAY meal with many courses. David, Heather, Frank and I were up to the challenge! And, of course, a wine pairing was required.
