Serena, who’s affiliated with Boston Market, wrote in to let me know of their October promotion:
“Think back 80 years to that “other” bad economic time when Herbert Hoover promised “A chicken in every pot, a car in every garage.” Now, as families worry about today’s economy, San Francisco restaurants are courting consumers for their hard-earned dollars in new, inventive ways.
Boston Market for example, is responding with a new (rotisserie) chicken promise of its own.

I’d seen a few commercials for ABC’s Pushing Daisies but had no idea what it was about (except for possible some similarity to HBO’s former series about a family of undertakers, Six Feet Under.)
Well, Miguel wrote in to tell me that the show is hosting a free pie tour, where a truck known as the Mobile Pie Hole is going to give out free pie tastings at Ghirardelli Square on Sunday, September 7, from 12pm - 5pm. Not bad, huh? For more information on the tour and the show, check out their Pushing Daisies Tour site. (Note: Getting into the actual Chocolate Festival will set you back $15-20, so make sure you get your money’s worth if you plan on checking it out!)

David wrote in to tell me about a free food event on September 15 in San Francisco’s Cow Hollow district.
From the looks of what he wrote, we’re talking some Tiger Beer samples, free curry samples, and even a little massage. Tiger Beer is from Singapore (home of Raffles Hotel, the Merlion, and the Singapore Sling cocktail), and I think this is a big marketing push to build brand awareness in SF, or the States as a whole.
“Tiger Beer an award-winning gold medal lager from Singapore and perfect
pairing for spicy foods, is proud to sponsor a month long Curry

Chapeau!

My friends The Asian Marina Couple (TAMC) had gone to Chapeau! a few times (once even for Valentine’s Day) and raved about its French bistro food, the attentive neighborhoody service, and value-oriented prix fixe. Since they’re pretty picky about dining (yet also value-oriented like us GrubGirl groupies), I added Chapeau! to my list of places to check out. Finally I got the gals to go before hitting the Sex and The City movie.
