Happy New Year! So far, 2012 has graced Tucson with it's lavish winter weather and the Liz is once again full of happy guests. This morning as the sun crept over the mountains and light trickled into the main hall, the crystal flutes sparkled at the breakfast table set for 10, beckoning our early rising guests to another fabulous meal. Today's breakfast was a sight to behold, as Owner/Chef Eric starts his presentation off with a pitcher of apple, kiwi, and orange juice and immediately follows with our first course: blueberry and lavender soup with a dash of local agave nectar. Cue the "ooo's" and "ahhh's".
For the main dish, the guests are treated to an asparagus and goat cheese frittata, rosemary roasted red potatoes, and the ripest of tomatoes (one can get outside of Italy) lightly dressed in olive oil and fresh basil. Smiles abound, the composed plates are admired and attended to.
The Gem Show has arrived to Tucson. 58 years running, the show is the largest of it's kind in the country and open to the public. Buyers and vendors arrive from all corners of the globe for this truly awesome event and the Liz is so happy to host and welcome back our long-time Gem Show guests. Graced with the historic beauty of the Bed and Breakfast, the gracious caretakers Eric and BJ, their delicious food, and our splendid international guests, February is a joyous month for the Royal Elizabeth.
The Liz and downtown Tucson are on the precipice of something remarkable, a food renaissance. We are happy to welcome two new farmer's markets to the downtown area along with many other new restaurants, bistros, breweries, and even a fledgling food cart scene! Please stay tuned for more culinary delights that we'll add to our repertoire and don't forget to check us out at www.royalelizabeth.com or on TripAdvisor!.
