How loud is the sound of batting eyelashes?
Filed Under Dinner, Eat and Drink, Lunch, Maintain
The Shop Tart hasn’t stopped batting her eyelashes since yesterday afternoon, when she first applied Four Day Stay, a new lash tint from Tarte. She read about it and knew she had to have it when she learned it was sold out all over the place. Pout just got a shipment and the Shop Tart rushed right in to get some. So far, it has survived one face washing and one night of sleep. She’ll keep you updated!
Every so often, the Shop Tart likes to bat her eyelashes over a burger at Mr. Friendly’s in Five Points. Because she likes to pretend she doesn’t eat carbs, she orders it with a salad instead of fries and removes the bun when it arrives at the table. Then she uses the bun when she’s finished so soak up the remaining salad dressing. So there. The other day, she got the French Quarter Burger, a delicious combination of blackened beef and Roasted Red Pepper Blue Pimento Cheese.
Her husband got the Friendly Burger with Pepper Jack Cheese and curly fries, which the Shop tart ate about half of!
They ate in the bar, which is also one of their favorite dinner spots. In fact, they refer to it as their favorite sports bar, because of the little television. They don’t have a television at home*, but Mr. Shop Tart does occasionally want to see a game. His wife is happy to go along…as long as it’s Mr. Friendly’s, because the television is unobtrusive, the wine list is excellent and Justin, the bartender, is fun to talk to while her husband ignores her.
The outside tables are also great when the weather obliges. If you want to see everyone in Columbia, the main dining area is the place to be. The Shop Tart might just have to take her luscious eyelashes there this week to show them off!
Mr. Friendly’s always features the work of a local artist on the walls. The Shop Tart thinks this is a great idea for everyone! The artist gets exposure (and maybe a few sales!), the restaurant gets free décor and the patrons get something lovely to look at while they eat. Right now, Roger Hutchison’s art is featured, including this beautiful piece.
If, by the way, you don’t happen to be craving a big, juicy burger, Mr. Friendly’s has plenty of other divine options. They have different menus at lunch and dinner, both excellent. They also have a list of specials every day. The Shop Tart would describe the food as Southern with Big City Edge…or maybe just really, really good!
In other news:

* Yup, they are hippy freaks!
