If someone said to me that I could only have one type of food for every meal for the rest of my life, I would have no trouble answering with "sandwiches." Years ago, it would have been pizza, but when you think about it, what are there more varieties of, sandwiches or pizza? Even though there are lots of different pizzas, sandwiches have pizza beat in the numbers game by about 10-1.
One thing I LOVE about Rockford is the local coffee scene. Yes, we have the big brands, but the local spots go above in beyond to create a memorable experience while you're there.
