My partner and I went to TK's on our Saturday 'date' night just to check it out. Boy were we surprised! We were greeted with a warm and sincere, yes sincere, hello. Not many times you find that here in Scottsdale.
Never the less, we were seated and our server 'Maureen' came right over and wowed us for the rest of the evening.
My partner had the aforementioned Pulled Pork Sandwich. He's a person who definitely knows what he likes and dislikes. After Maureen explained all the ingredients and the way it was prepared it was a go for him. He LOVED it! I decided on the BLT...I know how pedestrian! But I felt if a BLT was on the menu, they'd probably do it right! RIGHT it was, YUMM, the best ever. Who does a BLT with Apple wood Smoked Bacon, Arugula, Amazing Fresh Tomatoes, and a FRIED EGG on top??? TK's does...and do it right for sure. It was so good I texted a friend during dinner and told her that is where we were going for lunch the following Thursday.
Maureen is the best, in fact we made a 'date' to see her with my friend for lunch on the next Thursday as I wanted to try the burger. After a discussion regarding the burger being able to be cooked extra, extra rare, yes still chilly in the middle for me! She talked to the chef and came back to say 'yes, he'll cook it ANY way you want'.
Unfortunately when my friend and I went in on Thursday, we found that Maureen had been taken off the schedule. Bummer! But we still found the service top notch and the food great. The burger not as rare as I'd like, but rare and juicy none the less.
Low and behold, the following Saturday what did I receive??? But a text message from Maureen. I'd given her my business card as I do most everyone I meet. She was apologizing for not being able to be there if I'd gone in on Thursday...Can you EVEN believe that? We exchanged a couple text's and she assured me the next time I come in to TK's she'll make sure my burger is able to revived by a veterinarian! I can't wait to hold her to that.!.!.!...
