Happy Days are Here Again

In this economy & busy summer season, we are all watching our pennies, but we still want to have some fun.  I've put together a list of deals at local restaurants that can help you find some fun on a budget.  Please feel free to add your comments, & also tell me your favorite places.  I love to find a good deal!  Most restaurants also have summer specials & wine dinners or other events going on.  Ask your server or manager for details.  You will be surprised what you may learn.  As for the deals at Whole Foods, check out the community calendar to the right of the door as you leave.  You can find out what classes are available at the store & when they will be doing cooking demos.  I can't wait to hear from y'all on your favorite deals in town!  Bon Appetite!

FRIDAY:

Sullivan's has half price bottles of wine from 11-2.

DAILY:

Fleming's Prime Steakhouse has a deal called 5 for 6 til 7.  It simply means there are five cocktails, five wine choices, & five appetizers available for $6 until 7:00.  This special is only available in the bar area.  The steakhouse burger is, in my opinion, the best deal in town.  It is served with fries or onion rings for $6.  You won't find a better burger anywhere else. 

Beausoliel has $5 wine, specialty cocktails, & appetizers available from 3-6pm each day.  They also offer Abita Amber for $2.  Indulge yourself in the truffled fried oysters for a treat after a long day at the office. 

During the day, take advantage of the 'power lunch' at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse.  Your choice of a filet or fish served with a salad & side for just $22.  That's tough to beat!
