daily restaurant deals

[cannon_fodder]

Yesterday was the Ronald McDonald burger deal day at McDonalds... doesn't help anymore, but i was late to this party and wanted to add something. [B)]

You guys should be careful with these restaurant deals. Notice how most of these places offer heavily discounted items on mondays and tuesdays...they are getting rid of all the old stuff that wasn't used on the weekends. For example, the $6 Mazzios monday pizza special (one large one topping pizza for $6). The quality of those $6 pizzas are far inferior to their normal priced counterparts; the cheese is like goo. I'm a huge fan of not getting the dregs and I would rather drop a little extra cash than risk getting sick too. Not trying to be a downer here but be careful.

You mean on Mondays, Mazzio's runs two separate pizza production lines?  different dough, different sauces, different cheeses, different on each of the toppings, somehow I don't think so.  Just drumming up business on a slower day of the week.

Not true.

On the topic of pizza, Pie Hole is cheap on Tuesdays.

$10 gets you either a 12" specialty pizza or a 16" two topping pizza

(at least somewhat recently this was true)

Thats $10 for a quality pizza, not a $5 cost controlled product.

Whoa take it easy now...i'm not a conspiracy theorist. Just saying I've known quite a few people that work at these places and have been told what goes on 'behind the scenes.' I understand that having special deals on slow nights can bring much needed business to restaurants, but if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Yesterday's meatloaf can often become today's sloppy joes.

Well I know it doesnt work like that at Mazzio's.  Maybe at Bubba's Meatloaf Shack.

What kind of food does the Local Table have?

I keep seeing that place but have not tried it.

Is it formal, casual?


What kind of people eat there?

Expensive or not so?
