DRIPPING FOOD: HIGH TEA AND GOOD MANNERS AT THE BIG DRIP

"Come along inside...We'll see if tea and buns can make the world a better place."
- From The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame

We recently enjoyed a quick visit with Tammy Myers of The Big Drip, and with tea (and ice cream) she is certainly making Dripping Springs a better place. As we reported back in January, she launched "Tammy's Tea Room" at The Big Drip, and the afternoon and high teas, by reservation only, have been hotter than a whistling kettle. This weekend, she will be hosting her first Tea Party for Daddy & Me. Five Dripping dads are taking an afternoon away from their busy schedules to take their little girls (ages 5-6) out for a traditional (and adorable) afternoon tea.

And increasing the likelihood of future generations of dads who take their daughters to tea, Tammy also let us know about her Gentleman's Boot Camp, a fun approach to teaching young men proper etiquette.

Tammy and her ice cream parlor are Dripping treasures. If you've never been, The Big Drip is located just down from Super S (next to Dripping Springs Pharmacy). In addition to her teas and ice cream, our love for The Big Drip kolaches is well-documented* and unabashed.

For more information on Tammy's Tea Room, the boot camp, and, of course, all things ice cream, call (512) 858-7500.

*The Big Drip is not just ice cream and sweets; they open every morning at 7:00AM with fresh-brewed coffee and the best savory kolaches we've ever had. The sausage and cheese to bread ratio is perfect. There are no superfluous bready bites just to get to the stars of the kolache show, rather the snap of the sausage and ooze of the cheese is immediate. And, speaking of the sausage, it's sliced in a clever fashion to also give complete side-to-side coverage (again, perfecting the ratio). Originally posted December 31, 2008.
