| - So, it seems kridz is just humoring me now.
Do you want to go to dinner before going to play pool tonight? I asked.
Sure, she said.
Where do you want to go? I asked.
I dunno, she said.
Big Grove, Miga, Wedge??? I asked.
Dunno, she said. Does, Big Grove have their menu online.
Yes, I said. They have... mac and cheese, and on the kids menu, a grilled cheese.
Sounds good, she said. I'll probably get the grilled cheese.
So we go there, about 6 pm. No wait, we are seated by a combination of Trish and Katie Flynn. Neither of which are our waitress. Ash is working the bar. Maria is bussing and doing the best job bussing that anyone in Champaign has ever done, because Maria is awesome.
We are brought out waters and the tin of popcorn. I order a beer, Triptych Empire of Dirt (would you like a taster? a serving? or YOU CAN HAVE IT ALL, MY EMPIRE OF DIRT!!!) (they didn't ask that, it's my line from when it was on at the brewery)
Kridz says she isn't hungry. I'm wondering why the heck we came here, or that she joined me if she isn't hungry, this place is a nice sit down place, and she's got to run to go to pool. If she was hungry, she would have ordered the pork tenderloin. Instead she got a salad. I got the pork tenderloin.
The tenderloin was delicious. I have no idea what the other things on the plate with it were. I just looked up their menu online, and pork tenderloin isn't listed. I don't think the salad she had is listed either. Well this is awkward. (almost as awkward as spelling/reading the word awkward) (so many parenthesis) (parenthesis also looks awkward)
How to describe the things on the plate? Well, there was grilled lemon slices, I chose to forego eating them. There was (possibly) leeks. Which kridz asked what that was, and i'm like... uh.. it's kind of like a really big onion green part. And there was a really nice sauce that seemed to be a little mustard-y, kind of grey poupon-ish, but better. The weirdest things were these little cubes of things that I have no idea what they were. They looked like potatoes, but I don't think so. They were crunchy, but not crispy. They were hard to stab with a fork, but not tough. They were really tasty, and seemed sort of potato-ish, but I have no idea what they were (again, I was gonna look it up, but that items not on the online menu). The tenderloin was a lot pinker that kridz would ever eat, so I gave her a sliver from the side that was more done. I informed her that there was salt on the top of it, and those were not ice crystals.
Kridz got a salad, that had walnuts and some other things.
Prior to eating, we got 2 deviled eggs. To me, they were great, they weren't the things for her.
I had a great dinner.
Got done eating and as we were leaving talked to Katie, she will be performing at the Great Cover Up. I asked what she was doing (no act will tell you what they are doing) and she replied *****. Which made me laugh heartily. I mentioned that with a 15 minute set, what's she going to do, 1/2 a ***** song. She chuckled, then we both pondered... does ***** have any words?
Dear lord, I hope she's not really doing a ***** set, and I just ruined the surprise for everyone. (I removed the band name, just in case she's actually doing *****)
Big Grove is a great date place. It's dark. They have fancy things. You can feel like you are impressing your date. Even when they only order the salad, eat half of it, and pick out the walnuts because that's really the only part that they want.
If you are only going to eat salad, I said, why did you say to come here?
I know you wanted to go someplace where you could give a new review, she said.
