Why 12? Well, why not? It's getting a score of 10, with 2 bonus marks.

They threw their previous concepts together in hopes of finding something that stood out...you could say they put everything in a pot and "stirred" it up. Funny enough, that's exactly what they did and hence STIR came out. - Type of Crowd/Clientele

It's a great choice for date nights, special occasions and days you don't want to cook....so, every day, if you're like the Modern Mississauga team.
