Burger Mondays in May at The Palm

Happy Monday All! Today I hand in the last assignment of my law school career. Also, my wrist is healing (though I still can’t open a bottle of wine). So, tomorrow we will finally be back to our regularly scheduled programming.  In the meantime, how about this deal?

For the month of May (National Hamburger Month), The Palm (located in The Bellevue) is offering coupons for $8.37  burger and fries every Monday during lunch time. This even includes the 837 Club Burger that comes with  prosciutto di Parma, roasted red peppers, pesto aioli and fontina cheese.

Attend the Food Truck Pop Up on Friday (Like you have something cooler to do?)

I am so excited! My friends at the newly formed Philly Mobile Food Association have put together a pay- as- you- go food truck fiesta on  Friday evening  in Fishtown. This is perfect for those of you who work outside CC and can never get the truck goods on your lunch breaks!

Here are the details.

Free Cheesesteaks are Good I guess?


This makes no sense, but free is good, so lets go with it, especially with the week I am having. Apparently tomorrow (Wednesday) at noon, Tidy Cats (yea, what your cats pee into) are giving free cheesesteaks to the first 100 customers at both Geno’s and Pat’s. So, there’s that… meow
