I was too excited about Blue Man Group at lunchtime to look around for any other news to post. Here’s your after-work news.<\/p>\n
Another new event starts Monday at the Brass Door: Lightning Lunch. Every weekday, soup and a sandwich for $7. If they don’t have you in and out within 40 minutes, they’ll buy your lunch.<\/p>\n
The Flyer’s Hungry Memphis food blog has a couple of posts of interest to Downtowners today. First of all, want to buy a food truck?<\/a> The Revival food truck is for sale. $39,000 will buy you everything – the truck, the equipment, even the recipes. They’re having to sell because one of the owners was offered a regional corporate restaurant position that was too good to turn down.<\/p>\n Also, the Hungry Memphis folks tried Bleu’s build-your-own-pasta menu<\/a> this week. They created some beautiful dishes that I’m sure were delicious too. Meanwhile, out in Horn Lake I had a Frosty from Wendy’s for lunch today. So there’s that.<\/p>\n December 5, 1933 was the day Prohibition was repealed. Two Downtown bars will celebrate the 79th anniversary of the repeal with parties that night: The Blind Bear and the Silly Goose. The two bars are right around the corner from each other, so there’s no reason why you can’t hit both.<\/p>\n The Mid-South Food Bank desperately needs turkeys. To make a cash donation to go toward turkeys, go here<\/a> and select “Turkeys” from the “Designation:” item on the form.<\/p>\n The Grizzlies play the Thunder in OKC tonight at 7. Reminder: Aldo’s Pizza Pies is having a watch party. Two 65″ TVs at the bar, four 50″ TVs around the restaurant. Have a look at today’s Slice of the Day<\/a>, with vodka sauce base, caramelized onions, sliced sausage, and green bell peppers.<\/p>\n Plans for tonight: After a few weeks apart due to Halloween and Downtown Dining Week, the trivia team will be back at the Blind Bear at 8:00. As usual, I’ll do a little pre-gaming for trivia at the Saucer first. Time for beer!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I was too excited about Blue Man Group at lunchtime to look around for any other news to post. Here’s your after-work news.
