I got to talk to the Westin Hotel’s concierge again yesterday, and I asked her about a subject we hadn’t talked about much before: The Daily Grill, the restaurant in the ground floor of the hotel. Couple of things she told me:
– Every weekday during happy hour, the Daily Grill has smaller versions of their regular menu items available for $2.95 each. Although the portions are smaller, they’re still substantial. I remember last month during their Downtown Night… I was sitting at an outdoor table with a member of my BBQ team, and he had a plate of seared ahi tuna that he had bought for $2.95. It was nearly enough to be a meal, and I thought, “Nah… that’s got to be a mistake. The restaurant’s new, I bet the cashier rang it up wrong.” But no, that’s the correct price.
That’s one of the best deals I’ve heard of Downtown in a long time… I’m definitely going to go down there and check that out sometime this week. Actually, tonight wouldn’t be a bad night to go, since Di Anne Price plays piano in the lobby on Mondays. I’ll see how my schedule looks this afternoon…
– I also asked the concierge, “Suppose I’m visiting from out of town, and I’m only going to be able to eat at the Daily Grill one time. What would you recommend?”
She immediately responded: “Chicken pot pie. Best thing on the menu.”
That’s all for now. Preview of what’s coming this week:
– Help clean up a centerpiece of Downtown Memphis
– Thursday night rooftop pre-party with free appetizers
– My favorite band at my favorite bar
– Upcoming job fair
And more!
