Get your freaky half-priced eats on!!

YES!
Ok, so you out-of-towners are in for a treat. These are like some of our best restaurants. Uchi, SoCo Cafe, Sugar Mama's: what!

Pause - speaking of SoCo - funny story. A few years ago, I was having a lunch party for some out-of-town friends who flew into Texas for my wedding. We all met at South Congress Cafe, and I was super eager to wave the "Keep Austin Weird" flag - mostly because I had talked about this city so damn much back when I lived in California.

"So, how are you guys liking Austin so far?"

And then on cue, before they could respond - here comes a small brigade of otherwise normal-looking adults, dressed in pink bunny rabbit regalia, strolling by the South Congress Cafe picture window.

"We love it."

I do, too.

Anyway, here is the link where you can see the ridiculous half-off menus these restaurants are offering. (Thanks to Franny at Les Merles for the reminder!) This is just a little taste; go to the website to see everything:
