The shrimp and grit cakes pictured here were also great, especially with the spice from the red and green peppers. It worked great with those short ribs, too. Yes, yes, many of you would vote for the tri tip, I’m sure, but my Santa Maria barbecue nostalgia has much to do with buttered, grilled french loaves that aren’t complete without some char from the grill pressed into the bread. Those short rib crostini were my favorite of the evening, in large part because the bread reminded me of Santa Maria style garlic bread, arguably the best thing to be found in Santa Maria. Crabtree Tavern prepared a nice spread of appetizers, which were a great introduction to their American fare with a tendency toward the spicy and Southern side of the palate. Of course, I couldn’t go to a Yelp party without taking pictures of the food-you’d start questioning my blogging credentials, I’m sure (I’m less sure of what might qualify as my blogging credentials). And also, I think I caught a Viking ghost on film. Why there were Vikings serving up the beers, I’ll never know, but I’m rather jealous of those shiny hats.
#Athlete vs mathlete outfits party free
Alas, we never got over to the mini-golf putter, but we did attempt the wooden skee ball game.Ĭonveniently located next to the various games were free beer stands from Big Boss, Fullsteam, Lone Rider, Natty Greene’s, Bud Light, and Roth Brewing. Such are the risks of talking with a carnie. This left us with more small zebra toys than we know what to do with. The Chief-Carnie-in-Charge doled out prizes at the mere mention of “I won!” Gourmez and I played several rounds of hoops, followed by cornhole with some lovely Yelpers who were happy to make up rules with us for playing the game. Carnival games were the main ones this evening.
Athletes, which I’m pretty sure was just an excuse for partiers to either dress up as sports fans or geeks.Īs with any Yelp party, there were multitudes of entertainment options. The theme of this Yelp extravaganza was Mathletes vs. This one was hosted by the Crabtree Tavern, a huge sports bar type of restaurant that’s across a bridge from the Crabtree Valley Mall. I was invited to my second Yelp open party this past Friday night (5/6).
