New Things

Great activity here in Flagstaff with the AZ Cardinals in town for training camp and the weather about as nice as you could hope for, the streets are croweded with people. Add to that the great review in the July 22 AZ Republic and TBox is enjoying a fun and busy summer.

Chef Scott is working on some exciting changes (as if the daily menu changes weren't enough). Starting on a soon upcoming Monday we are going to feature a Chef's Tasting Menu as our dinner. Scott will work up an amazing 3 or 5 course meal for our Monday "menu." So, those of you that have tasted what Chef can prepare or those looking for a great, unique dining experience, make your reservations. Once we have it set, I will start sending it out to our loyal e-mail club members or call on Monday to see what is in store.

August?

Is it August already? Our first summer is flying by and we want to thank the local community and the summer resident support. Chef Scott and Kevin want to thank all who have supported our vision and we will continue to push for the best dining experience in Flagstaff. During our first year we have been proud to be part of food events like Palette to Palate benefiting Coconino County Community College, the Taste of Flagstaff to benefit Victim Witness and the upcoming Wine and Dine in the Pines to benefit NAU Athletics. We are also proud to have been selected as the venue for the AZ Highways reception during its "Passport to Flagstaff" weekend and the VIP Dinner for the Wine & Dine in the Pines event. We were also pleased to have been featured by the AZ Republic as one of three destination restaurants in Flagstaff on the cover of its Wed., July 22 Food section along with fellow restaurants Pasto and Cuvee 928. Come on in if you haven't visited yet and see what all the buzz is about.

Summer Events

The TBox is excited that many have looked to hold special events at our new restaurant. This Saturday we will be hosting the AZ Highways VIP cocktail reception on our patio. Chef Scott Heinonen will prepare various passed appetizers we will have a cash bar available and High Country Spirits will be sampling their Prickly Pear Vodka.

On August 19th, NAU has asked us to host their Wine & Dine in the Pines VIP dinner. We will be teaming with Alliance Beverage to feed 40 lucky people. Chef Scott Heinonen will serve a tasting menu paired with wine. Tickets are available through NAU athletics and include the dinner and entrace to the big event at Snowbowl in August.

We are also the destination for some individual special parties with several birthday gatherings, retirement dinners and family get togethers. The patio works great for informal large groups up to 18 or so.

Come on in to check us out or send me your email address and I will keep you up-to-date on the happenings, specials, menu changes, etc.

Happy 4th of July

The 4th is here and so is the summer kick off of Flagstaff, AZ activities. Our mountain town is jumping with activities all weekend long; parade, fireworks, music....We hope to see the revelers here at the T-Box for a delicious lunch or dinner. The weather is cooperating for beautiful evenings on the patio and Chef Scott Heinonen has prepared some delicious dishes. Our wine list is slowly expanding with a small, eclectic collection. Our bartenders are hard at work creating signature cocktails for your enjoyment as well like our TBox Shandy, the TBox Tea, the Tinderbox Cooler and the Detroit Silver Bullet (in honor of Scott's and my hometown-yes it has cherries in it). So stroll on down the short 180 steps from the railroad tracks on South San Francisco and check us out.

Tuesday?

I guess summer is in full swing here in Flagstaff. Tuesday night and we were full of happy diners. Patio was open with full tables on a beautiful summer night. We are open for lunch as well between 11 and 2 Tues. though Sat. Love to see our repeat diners. It helps that Chef keeps the menu changing on a daily basis. If you haven't been in yet come on down to the South side. If you have we can't wait to see you again.

What a Weekend!

Thanks Flagstaff for a great and busy weekend at the Tinderbox. We served many new comers and repeat diners throughout the weeked and the place was lively from Wed straight through to Saturday. We are still waiting for a great run of patio sitting weather so that you can enjoy your meal al fresco next to the historic Basque handball court that makes up the outside wall. Hoping for an equally energetic crowd this week. The summer season is gearing up and we look forward to being a part of the excitement this year.

See you soon.

PATIO IS OPEN

The Patio at Tinderbox is open for your eating and drinking pleasure; the weather here is beautiful. This is what we all wait for here in Flagstaff. Join us for a Shandy or a TBox Tea.
