Mind Soup

In celebration of launching its new burger, Crepaway, in partnership with Online Collaborative and Cloud 961, invited a few bloggers and tweeps to try the Hole Good Burger at their newly designed Beirut City Centre branch on Wendesday September 25, 2013.

The night ended in delightful desserts and it was ALL GOOD!
