coelasquid: When people say it’s a stupid, superficial thing to avoid eating at Chik-Fil-A just because you disagree with the politics of the higher-ups, I assume those people don’t realize Chik-Fil-A profits are pumped into organizations that literally support legislation to execute gay people. When people are actively spreading bigotry, it’s not superficial to take your business elsewhere.

Memories of Grill

  • “100 E Congress St, next to Wig-O-Rama”
  • The once, the only, the Ken Schorr!
  • The “View Of Athens During The Age Of Pericles” mural, presently behind the “Atomic Coffee Co.” sign (if it still exists).  Who knew they had high-rise condo buildings in 5th century B.C. Athens?
  • The creamy tarragon vinaigrette
  • Studying for exams at UA at 3AM
  • “When Dining Out, Insist On Food”
  • The pink sauce
  • Documenting one of the best times in my life routinely with a ca. 1970’s photobooth
  • Photobooth props, like the big bucket o’ Yorkshire Brand Lamb Livers
  • The Red Room
  • The Armed Response
  • The Big Bowl O’ Cap’n Crunch
  • “Caffeinated On A Quantum Level”
  • Howe Gelb casually walking in one night, sitting down at the piano in the Red Room, and playing for patrons
  • Tortelvis!
  • Dinner, post- (or pre-) Downtown Saturday Night
  • PIE
  • Coffee shakes (ice cream, not caffeine induced)
  • The eclectic soundtrack
  • “Open Later Than You Think”
  • Freaking Great Tortellini
  • That nothing about the main dining room — NOTHING — changed in ~15 years
  • “The Rules”
  • The Neon Chicken
  • Being there, whenever we needed it, 24/7

Grill interior at night, March 2011. Thanks for the memories.

The Grill Neon Chicken: Before And After

Downtown Tucson diner the 'Grill' to close Tuesday

Grill’s chicken (er, goose) finally gets cooked.  Very sad to see it go.
