**** Tiger! Tiger has closed
I love being wrong……I do. I visit every place, whether it's new or on our rotation hoping for a great meal. And for places we love….well, sometimes, it ain't so great. At the beginning of 2018, we visited Tiger! Tiger! a couple of times and were quite disappointed. I believe I mentioned that in a post somewhere….of course, a week after I wrote that, the Missus decided we should pay them another visit….and, of course we enjoyed ourselves.
So here's a round-up of recent dishes at Tiger! Tiger! And….I'll preface things by saying that having something like Pliny the Younger….does help things!
Even at $15……you should try this once…..great balance…..amazing tongue feel……and 10 ABV….well, don't have too many!
The Missus has been enjoying the really spicy….and I do mean legit spicy Mushroom Sandwich……
While I enjoy the sausages…whether the Bratwurst….
Or the Kielbasa….it's made inhouse and has great snap and flavor. And when the potato salad is "right"…..like on our most recent visit, the perfect amount of mustard and studded with just the right amount of slices of pickled celery…well, it was quite good.
The Missus has enjoyed the Kim Chi Brussel Sprouts….though it's not always perfect for Her tastes.
Still, there's a nice umami touch that helps move things along, even when not cooked perfectly.
And of course, old favorites like the charcuterie…….
And certain soups the Missus enjoys…..
And even though there are certain "clunkers" we don't enjoy…like the under-flavored and usually over-cooked broccolini….which isn't a good value…..
We still go by the specials board and not the menu.
Plus, we like the relaxed atmosphere……. So, Tiger Tiger is back on the rotation….for now…..
Tiger! Tiger!

And….everytime we visit….I think of Sammy…….
aw sammy, miss him!
I like how their glassware has the proper ratio of foam to beer demarcation.
Is that fried enoki mushrooms?
We really miss Sammy Kat!
And the temps are usually perfect as well Jason.
Those are fried shimeji mushrooms Jenn.
Thanks. Looks so amazing
Hope you have a chance to try it Jenn….they also use shimeji for the Beignets de Champignon at Et Voila as well.
I look forward to try both! Thank u
I skipped the Younger hype this year. I heard the wait in Santa Rosa was up to 8 hours on the weekends!
Hi Junichi – Yeah, I read about the lines for PtY….we kind of lucked out as they just happen to have it on tap for some event and the keg hadn’t blown yet. It is good stuff though…..
