It is obvious that whoever wrote this has not eaten there. The food is totally different – American, not Italian, looks different, tastes different and doesn’t walk like a duck (so to speak). Craig Susser has tried to be so directly opposite from Tana’s, so there would be no comparison or rivalry. Now, after 23 years at Tana’s it might possibly become another “industry haunt” since so many people know and like Craig.

This was written as a “News Piece” not as a “Restaurant Review” and that should have been obvious! The way I see it, Tana’s was never known for its marvelous cuisine and it was always a blur between Italian & American anyway, and may I add, it is one of the only restaurants at that price point I have ever encountered serving spaghetti as a vegetable.
