On Wednesday, December 2, the Majestic will begin selling $50 gift cards for only $25 beginning at 9 AM until they run out. If you&#8217;re a big fan of the Majestic&#8217;s food, this is the way to get to eat a lot of good food for cheap. Note that it&#8217;s &#8220;9 AM until they run out,&#8221; so if you work outside of Downtown, I&#8217;d recommend taking as early a lunch as possible (or come in late and get there at 9). You have to purchase them in person &#8211; no phone orders.<\/p>\n<p>Note that the gift cards cannot be used until 1\/4\/10. They also cannot be used for alcohol, tax, gratuity, to-go orders, or for special events.<\/p>\n<p>Suggestion: If you haven&#8217;t tried one of Patrick&#8217;s filets, it alone is worth splurging on a card. The whole rotisserie chicken is a good one too.<\/p>\n<p>The restaurant is also bringing back Sunday Supper and a Movie starting this Sunday. A special menu will be available, in addition to the regular menu, beginning at 6:30 PM, with movie starting at 7, except as noted below. Here&#8217;s the line-up:<\/p>\n<p>November 29: We&#8217;re No Angels<br \/>\nDecember 6: Holiday Inn (dinner at 7, movie at 7:30)<br \/>\nDecember 13: Christmas in Connecticut<br \/>\nDecember 20: It&#8217;s a Wonderful Life<\/p>\n<p>Reservations for these are highly recommended, as these Sunday movie nights were quite popular last year.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s one more too. It&#8217;s becoming an annual tradition at the Majestic &#8211; the showing of National Lampoon&#8217;s Christmas Vacation, with costume contests for tackiest sweater and for best Christmas Vacation Character Costume. That will happen on Tuesday, December 8, 7:30 PM special menu, 8 PM movie. I was one of the judges for this last year and it was a whole lot of fun. Note that this event SOLD OUT, so if you want to come you better make reservations well in advance.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve had a couple of people ask me if the Foursquare application is available for the Crapberry&#8230; there&#8217;s not an app for it, but it looks like you can hit <a href=\"http:\/\/foursquare.com\/mobile\/\">Foursquare&#8217;s mobile page<\/a> through any phone that has a mobile web browser. I&#8217;ve become the Mayor of a third location on FourSquare &#8211; Number 10 Main, my apartment building.<\/p>\n<p>Also had an e-mail asking what is going on New Year&#8217;s Eve other than the parties at the Peabody and Beale&#8230; don&#8217;t know. Best bet is to go to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.downtownmemphis.com\">the DowntownMemphis.com home page<\/a> and check their calendar of events.<\/p>\n<p>Also check out the <a href=\"http:\/\/download.downtownmemphis.com\/\">Downtown Download blog<\/a> while you&#8217;re on the site, for a post about how the Calhoun&#8217;s regulars turned the bar into a gingerbread house for the storefront competition.<\/p>\n<p>All right, enough typing for now. For some reason I thought I could make it without my morning Mountain Dew on the way to work today&#8230; that was a stupid move. Gonna run to Exxon and buy one before lunch break ends. I&#8217;ll be at Pint Nite at the Saucer about 5:30, then poker night at the Silly Goose at 7:30.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Majestic Grille is gearing up for its one-day-only half-off gift card sale.
