Boston Market October Deal: Buy a Family Meal, Get Another Chicken for $1.99

 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.

Fried Food Ideas (But Not in San Francisco)

(Don’t forget to vote on our reader’s poll!)

The State Fair of Texas has been going on for almost a month, and Mr. S. recently submitted a list of some tasty food entrants from last year’s competition.

The dishes that really caught my eye:

Finger Food at Wendy’s

You think it’s an urban legend.
You’ve heard similar stories before — the rat burger at Jack in the Box, the horsemeat (again, at Jack in the Box), the deep fried rat in the french fry deep fryer at McDonald’s.

But apparently this one is REAL.

A 20-year old woman bit into a FINGER at a Wendy’s in San Jose.
No kidding.

Now, this is unconfirmed but my friend told me that one report claimed she told the Wendy’s employees about it. They nonchalantly said that it “was a vegetable.” Uh huh.
