Octane Revs its Engine

It's midafternoon on a Saturday, and everywhere I look, people seem to be hard at work. Laptops are whirring and fingers are flying across keyboards.

She lived and painted in the Southwest. Whatever. The point is, hunt this place down and eat there, because oddball name or not, Georgia Grille is something special.
