First Friday Artwalk

Even on a cold December Friday night the First Friday Artwalk had downtown teeming with people.   We were happy to have a bunch of you here at TBox for a quick dinner (or not so quick even)  before you ventured out to catch some local art.  Chef Scott and I were particulaly proud to have one of the displaying artisits here with us last night--David Brookover http://www.brookovergallery.com/.  If you didn't catch his work last night you have to go by the Echo Canyon Art Gallery at 14 N. San Francisco St. http://www.echocanyonarts.com/  The collection is titled "Vistas of an Untamed West" and includes amazing black and white photography of the western USA.  Here's one example I love!  Thanks to the boys at Hidden Light Gallery  http://www.hiddenlightllc.com/for hanging out with us last night.  Hidden Light is an amazing little spot located on South San Francisco St. near NAU.  The tallent from Hidden Light is what brought us those amazing Brookover prints.

As the weather turns cold, you can rely on Chef to create warming comfort food dishes for you.  Today he's featuring his Beef Stew, Pork Pasole and as always the unmatched Meatloaf.  Dinner will continue to give you that feeling of Sunday Dinner but with a flare served up with great tableside attention from the best wait staff in Northern Arizona.  See you soon and remember if  you're cold ask Olivia or Matt for their signature Hot Toddys.
