It's International Women's Day! Part 3
And, it is still July. ;) Make way for Marissa of Eat The Dishes - an innovative, delicious company based out of Vancouver and thriving on delivering unique concepts from international street food- with a zero waste twist! She kept it real short and sour with some recent experiences she had- also, a head's up! If you've got offended eyeballs, this post contains some swear words.
