The setting. The food. The service. The owner. There are many reasons to stop by @mygreekplate on 3rd Ave... but mostly, the scallops! What's your favourite My Greek Plate dish if you've been? #mycochrane #cochraneloveslocal #cochranetogether

I'm back from vacation, so you'll be seeing me out and about in Cochrane! Please say hi! And... I forgot this hat where I stayed on vacation, so Stampede Breakfasts may be hatless (unless I come up with something...). Also, I have space available for a website design. Pm me if you'd like to chat. *Sam #mycochrane #liveonlocation
