Party Pack at Tour de Grows

Somewhere between Over the Top Tour de Branch and Sanitation Grade Pending Tour de Guzi came Tour de Grows. Eugenia was a little anxious to hear that she was following infamous chef Ron, but Ashley and I decided to let those nerves motivate the Grows to create another inspirational meal on TDK. We may have "forgotten" to tell them about the food poisoning that was promised for the following night. However, I think Eugenia may have gotten her inspiration elsewhere as she sent this picture to entice us as she and Brad were "prepping" for the meal.













Ashley and I made a run for the border to South Charlotte for Tour de Grows anyway. After all, Taco Bell is still better than cereal for dinner. However, after we arrived, we weren't so sure we were welcome.
























Umm, hello Grows, asking for handouts is the whole point of Tour de Kitchens! Luckily, a little cutie decided to welcome us inside.




The Grows had an awfully nice table setting on the deck for a Taco Bell dinner. As we enjoyed the 71 degree weather at dusk with our first glass of Pinot Noir, the Grill Master and the Mistress of the Domain put the final grill marks on the filet marinated in a top secret family recipe.


Little Grow was looking for something else to enjoy while Brad was working to keep all of his arm hair from being singed.


Both the arm hair and the filets were salvaged. The plates were completed with a creamy risotto and a spinach salad with strawberries and feta. This is the best Taco Bell I've ever had! Cheers!




Looks like our asking for handouts paid off. The final course of lemon pound cake with vanilla whipped cream, strawberries and fresh ground nutmeg was served just as Lucy found what she was looking for.





Thank you Grow family! Let us know when you are doing drive thru and we'll join the feast!

  1. Just for the record, the secret marinade is not A1 nor does it have A1 in it, despite my husbands joking. I would hate for you to embarrass yourself trying to replicate those awesome steaks using that!
