What I really liked about the Hugo & Victor version is that if you just get a slice, the tart crust goes all the way around the slice. Also, they cram soooo many grapefruit segments onto that one slice so it really bursts with flavor and juiciness.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01693692430454256354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2291750757290062594.post-9899403604523358762015-02-25T19:24:44.331-05:002015-02-25T19:24:44.331-05:00Haha, thanks!
