When someone's getting all up in your grill, the best thing to say is, "You better step off! The surface temperature of grills can approach 550 degrees Fahrenheit—you shouldn't be standing on that thing!" Today's deal demonstrates a high regard for safety by leaving the grilling to the professionals: for $12, you get $25 worth of Southwestern American cuisine and non-alcoholic drinks at Table Mountain Grill & Cantina, located in Golden's Table Mountain Inn.
Boasting an extensive variety of tasty, authentic Southwestern and American cuisine, Table Mountain Grill & Cantina's menu could convince a stuffed burrito it was hungry. Breakfast bites have guests slurping fresh-fruit smoothies ($3.99) and sopping up the sippable energy with fluffy blueberry hotcakes ($3.99), or pairing fruity yogurt parfaits ($5.99) with classic protein-packed huevos rancheros ($6.99). On weekends, enjoy transitive treats during brunchtime, or go full-out lunch with a midday menu of mouth pleasers. Offerings include soups, salads, burgers, and sandwiches, as well as Cantina favorites such as roasted-veggie and goat-cheese empanadas ($8.99) and Baja fish tacos ($9.99). For a truly delightful dinner, enjoy a plate of fire-roasted chiles rellenos with jack cheese, green chile, chimayo-chile sauce, and Navajo black beans and rice ($13.99), or skillfully apply your mouth muscles to a half rack of Mesa pork ribs ($13.99). Top off your food fiesta with cinnamon fried ice cream ($5.99), a chocolate taco with fresh berries ($6.99), or a whipped-creamy strawberry-shortcake shooter ($2).
Located about 20 minutes from downtown, Table Mountain is a central hub at the base of the foothills, perfect for uniting with friends or recharging after a long day of shopping, working, or participating in forming makeshift conga lines throughout downtown. Adorned with traditional Southwestern textiles and wall art, the restaurant's warm, authentic ambience provides a cozy, epicurean escape, sending taste buds on vacation with or without their permission. Reservations, like wearing chain mail while wrestling a bear, are highly recommended but not required.

An Excerpt from Cantina Gulch
Please enjoy this excerpt from Conrad O'Horthy's best-selling novel, Cantina Gulch:
- Quint Sbrander dismounted his horse, Grumbles, in front of Belle's Cantina. It was hot—hotter than a newly shot revolver, or the devil's female cousin. He tied up Grumbles and strolled into the place. He didn't walk like a man with something to prove and everyone could see it.
"Whiskey," he said to the barkeep, "make it two."
"Say, stranger, who do you think you are, comin into this bar causin' an awed hush with your stern presence? And why wearin them dumb pants that hardly make it past your knees?" The man was big and wobbly on strong drink.
Quint just laughed quietly to his whiskey. The man pulled back to sock Quint one but in the blink of an eye Quint enacted terrible violence upon the man, kicking him across the room.
"They're called Capri pants, friend. And they're the reason I just kicked you across this room." He then quickdrew his gun and spelt his name in the wall using bullets fired from the gun that he quickdrew. "The name's Quint Sbrander," he said to the various prospectors, cowboys, and floozies, "and I'm your new mayor."
