I know it’s all about the drawing but, the paints (and drawings) by Liz Artinian are awesome

TB’s a 14-seat counter-service joint whose menu is completely devoted to gloriously loaded 14oz spuds. Stuff-your-own with any three basic toppings (cheddar cheese, sour cream, grilled steak…), or select from 13 more esoteric “Favorites”, e.g., Creamed Spinach w/ frizzled leeks and manchego, or Pulled Pork w/ “Mexican slaw”, or the $55 Truffle, topped with truffle compound butter, truffle oil, truffle salt.
Besides potatoes proper, TB also serves up spud-based soups (potato leek, sweet potato) and ice creams (sweet potato heath bar crunch), plus salads.

Mission Statement:
My father, Manny, has always impressed upon me the importance of community. As manager of Crest Hardware I am thrilled to provide a unique non- traditional atmosphere to showcase the art work of the creative and vibrant community we service. I have such a love and appreciation for art and I am fascinated with seeing the transformation of basic hardware materials into something other than what they are intended for.

The Crest Hardware Art Show is a real down to earth experience appealing to a broad range of people that live in the community. The ideas and concepts in the show are rendered on a silly and theatrical level allowing for an accessible experience. From previous art shows I remember walking through the store and seeing the “Brawny” paper towel display and had to take to a second look to see that next to it was packages of “Scrawny” paper towels. Surprises and laughter fill the shelves. You may come to run a simple errand but you leave with a little bit of culture and a big sense of community.
