GrubGirl Debuts New Design

Yes, folks, you again have been on put on a starvation diet of GrubGirl posts. Why? We spent the last few weeks working with a wonderful designer (Marc Mendell over at Marc’s Design) and themers from Dizzain to roll out a fancy shmancy look for GrubGirl.

Marc had been privy to many of GrubGirl’s jonesin’ attacks for lunch food during 2008, and decided to translate his observations into visual design.

We’re still working out some compatibility kinks with our plugins, but in the meantime, check us out and let us know if there’s any places you’d like to recommend or want us to review! In this economy, everyone needs to grub, or at least think they’re getting value. 🙂

Extreme Pizza: Buy 1 Get 1 Free

Extreme Pizza
130 Fillmore Street : 415-929-9900

Just a quick FYI for those of you delivered-pizza eaters, or those of you that have a bunch of friends or a meeting Monday or Tuesday nights. At least with the Fillmore Extreme Pizza and the Marina branch, if you order an extra large pizza, you get a medium one for free. Remember, Monday and Tuesday nights!

Today’s Urban Dictionary Word

Another food-related slang term on Urban Dictionary:

nom nom nom: Represents the sound made when someone is eating or chewing something and really enjoying it.

I’d personally spell it to represent a more nasal sound (like nyom nyom nyom) but that could be just me and my personal state of bliss. I’ve been using this phrase since I was a kid and never knew how it was spelled! 😉

Homemade Pumpkin Pie Recipe

A slightly belated post as we recover from the Thanksgiving holiday, a new job, a shady hack into one of my posts (that tagged it with some spammy tag), and a blog upgrade to WordPress 2.6!

I meant to post this right after Halloween, when pumpkins were abundant and I had a chance to save a pumpkin from being sacrificed to the whims of trick or treating tradition. Oops.

Google “pumpkin pie recipe” and the first one that pops up is a homegrown webpage with recipes that anyone can follow.
