When local chef and sauce master Raymond Tatum first went to work for Eddie Wilson early this year, we couldn't see anything but an odd couple. However, the hilarious, tongue-in-cheek summer ad campaign touting Tatum's menu specials at the original Threadgill's location revealed they share a self-deprecating sense of humor and love of good food. Similarly, the Threadgill's ads placed on the local broadcasts of the syndicated series Xena: Warrior Princess are also hysterical and full of self-parody.And it's no secret that Threadgill's Eddie Wilson is the proud step-pop of Renee O'Connor, the local hero actress-cum-superhero sidekick to Xena. As Gabrielle, O'Connor kicks ass and takes notes as the bard who records the adventures of Xena. And this just makes Eddie Wilson beam.
