so ashby stiff, the restaurant shill for the tallahassee democrat, gives coolgrindz on park three and a half hats out of five. calling him a shill might be too kind. he can't even bring himself to totally dis the furniture: "not La-Z-Boy comfortable, these chairs, but definitely show-stoppers." the truth--sitting on these chairs is like spending time with a 400 pound hooker--about 15 seconds worth is all you can tolerate. wb and i went to lunch there last friday. the high point was wb huggin and kissin on all the fair lassies in the joint. he'll go back for the affection. i won't be his witness. he will just have to tell me about it. i ordered a cuban steak sandwich which comes with a cup of black bean soup. there was about an ounce of steak on the sandwich and the cup of soup was served in a vessel that was a cross between a thimble and a demitasse cup. it did not come with a spoon, and with good reason, it could have been snorted. if my rating system was based on stools, i couldn't give coolgrindz half a stool even if i wanted, if you get my drift. you want the best cuban steak sandwich and the best fries, go to gordo's on west pensacola st. you will get a steak that is tasty and the size of a football bladder. you can share the fries with five of your friends and settle-up for less than the mini-meal at coolgrindz. oh and did i mention--at gordo's you get to sit on hard wood chairs--far more fanny friendly than the "Indian silver--velvet seated" butt numbing instruments of torture at ashby's new favorite place downtown.
