And though the Washington Redskins were taking to the field Sunday hoping to finish their day by packing for a trip to Atlanta to play the Falcons next week, now the Seahawks will head to the Georgia Dome instead.

I love Zinga...I think it is very clean and the management is incredibly helpful. We asked about a candy that they had put out previously and they actually went in the back and got it for us! They also acted on the suggestion to add more seating and including whip cream as a topping. You can't ask for better customer service....it I can feed all 3 kids for under $6!   more ›
