[WHAT YOU SHOULD ORDER AT...] THISTLE HILL TAVERN

WHAT YOU SHOULD ORDER AT... is a recurring column designed in kind for your opinionated asses and our lazy asses.  We're going to pick one Park Slope resto a week and recommend our favorite dish at each.  Are we right?  Are we wrong?  YOU KNOW YOU WANNA WEIGH IN.  

I choose to ignore the fact that "Thistle Hill Tavern" sounds like some sort of a bar/nursing home hybrid (ie: "SHADY PINES, MA!").  Jokes like, "I hear the creamed corn is great HAHAHA" are inevitable. 

But, whatever, Thistle Hill Tavern (441 7th Ave at 15th St; 347-599-1262) serves up some damn good octopus.  And that's all you need to know.

I love the octopus here because it helps me get over my still lingering childhood hatred of Ursula from The Little Mermaid, also because it is very, very tasty.  Charred to perfection and served on a bed of lentils, it really is the best thing you can get here.  Wanna round out your meal for a home run?  Do yourself a favor and order up a side of the Salt & Pepper fries.  They're awesome and served with homemade ketchup.  

What's your favorite thing on the menu at THT?
