Last night I took Elizabeth to Tillman's for a birthday dinner. I hadn't been there in a while. Actually, now that I think about it, it might have been months.
The last time I was there they set me and Adam in one of the 2 tops along the banquet, and we were placed in between two other couples. Adam swore they were listening to our conversation, but I thought they had better things to do then listen to us discuss the merits of H&M. Everything was going fine until he got up to go to the bathroom and announced "we can discuss your herpes when I get back". Both couples swivled around and looked at me. Adam was right. And he laughed all the way to the potty.
So, last night was a bit different. They really weren't that busy. We were sat in the banquets again, but no one was really that close to us.
I love Tillman's first for the decor. You enter and to the right is the bar with "The Misfits" playing on the wall over a big comfy Aquamarine couch. To the left is the restaurant. Its like one big train car full of wood and chandaliers. I always tell people it looks like Za Za Gabor's hunting lodge.
We are sat and they brought over the big ladels full of warm nuts and popcorn covered in white truffle oil. Elizabeth was in a funny mood yesterday. She usually is all about vegeatables, but she requested the fries done three ways for an appetizer. Who was I to say no? The big box came out, overcrowded with sweet potato, idaho russet, and purple potato fries. I mostly ate the sweet potatoes. They had a nice chili rub on them and that seemed to appeal to my taste buds.
We both ordered the venison frito pie. For the record, two things I love: venison and frito pie. Therefore, I had to order this meal. Oh, it was so good. I used to eat frito pie every Tuesday in high school. It was my addiction. This kicked it up a notch with nice chunks of venison in a tangy chili. Add some sour cream and fritos and you have nirvana.
Since it was Elizabeth's birthday, we got dessert. We decided to try the crisp of the day, huckleberry. It was pretty good. The speedy version of happy birthday senorita made it much better. Huckles are ok for a berry. They tended to turn our mouths black. It took a couple of brushings that night and this morning to get my mouth back to normal.
Overall,a very good meal. I like Tillman's. I wish more people had been there.

Why'd you spend all that money redoing your kitchen if you're never gonna use it? ;)
I do cook. I just think people would rather hear about restaurants then my experiments with muffins. BUT, I do have an excellent recipe for banana rasberry muffins I made last week. I used whole wheat flour and oatbran, and they still taste good. Its amazing!!
You know, you and Harold could always have me over for a cooking lesson. We could make your potato salad. YUM!!
The smores at Tillman's are sick.
i really want to eat there; i haven't. i've heard they have a delicious lavender cocktail.
have you tried?
No I haven't had the lavender cocktail. We went right into a bottle of wine, which was pretty good. I didn't recognize any names they had listed. So, I kind of just guessed.
I love their venison frito pie... reading your blog is making my mouth water...
The venison frito pie gets more love than the smores!?!
Boo.
I don't even like dessert much and the smores slay me.
