Dinner and a show, the modern version.

I’ve wanted to try Farmerbrown for a little while, but that place is popular and good reservations are difficult to get.  It’s also in the middle of one of the worst parts of the Tenderloin so not only is there a bouncer at the front, but it feels like dinner comes with a side of danger.  Just how I like it.

I managed to weasel my brother Chris out of a dinner for three – him, me and mom.  Dad was supposed to come, but he ended up having to work.  He missed out on a fun dinner.

Farmerbrown is participating in Dine about Town which was a nice surprise so we got two prix-fixe menus and I added an entree for myself.  It was plenty of food.

What we got:

Appetizers – crab cakes, seafood gumbo

Entrees – porkchop, fried chicken, cornmeal catfish

Dessert – banana cream pudding, pecan pie

Drinks – Grand Gimlet, housemade Arnold Palmer, housemade ginger beer

Delicious.  I’d like to go back and try a few more of the dishes with Michael.  In return for being weaseled, Chris was promised a ticket to see Anything Goes.  Michael’s in India so had to miss the terrific show, but my brother and I enjoyed it very much.

Beautiful show and Reno Sweeney, played by Rachel York, was simply perfect.
