MEAL 19- SATURDAY 9/14/2013- Joe's, Frankie's, M Burger

Our last lettuce crawl for the season. Started with a Crab Bisque at Joe's ($1 tip), Frankie's didn't let us use two scratchoffs, so we had to first have a Vodka spaghetti in the lounge followed by a margarita pizza in the dining room. Our bill ended up being $8 for the spaghetti, and $3 for the pizza. Mostly just the tip racking it up. Needed some dessert so ended up getting a peanut butter dipped cone and a strawberry shake at M Burger. One of first times having the dessert here, surprisingly pretty good.

I think we're done. Till next year!

Total Spent:
Joe's- $1 

Frankie's- $11

M Burger- Free

TOTAL: $12
OVERCHARGE (on my CC): $29.34

LEYE gift card messed up!

So because the website for my LEYE gift card refuses to update with recent transactions, I don't remember where else I went or how to take into account of the $3.54 I have left on my card. But I went to RJ Grunts today and my balance was $0. Confused. Oh well.

So we did end up going to RJ Grunts today, and got a French onion soup $6.95, and Mushroom Swiss Burger $11.95. Because we sat at the bar, we were also able to get two tabs, and use both our scratch off cards. So for 15 meals (for two people mostly), we were able to only use $100 on the gift card. that's about $4 per person per meal. That's a lot I suppose since I can easily get something off the dollar menu, but considering a lot of places I had to pay for tax and tip, and sometimes I chose the more delicious choice over the cheapest choice, that's not too bad I think.

Now we have about a week and a half left, and just a few scratchoffs to go. Let's do it!

Total Spent:
RJ Grunts- $8 (including tax and tip)

TOTAL: $8
OVERCHARGE (on my CC): $8

MEAL 15- Saturday 8/31/2013- Pizzeria Via Stato

So we used our first Wildcard for a lunch at Pizzeria via stato. Since the minimum spend here is $20 and you get $15 off, we got quite a lot

Meatball Sandwich $8.95

Beet salad Yum, $7.95

White Bean Spread w/ Crostini $3.95

So my lettuce card stopped showing me the recent update charges so I've kind gotten lost w/ how much I spent here.

Total Spent:
Pizzeria Via Stato- Approx $7

TOTAL: $7
GIFT CARD BALANCE: $3.54

MEAL 14- 8/31/2013- Shaw's Half Priced Oysters 

Did it again. Nice afternoon tea!

Total Spent:
Shaw's- $7 (including tax and tip)

TOTAL: $7
GIFT CARD BALANCE: $10.54

MEAL 13- FRIDAY 8/30/2013- RPM+Paris Club+ Hub 51

Had drinks at Hubbard Inn with some friends, followed by a big dinner food crawl at RPM, Paris Club and Hub 51. Despite a couple of the coupons' restrictions for not being able to use it on Friday, the restaurants were awesome enough to let us use them. So what did we order:

RPM- Short Rib Parpadelle ($13) w/ Bolognese sauce. Simple enough and tasty. Bread service here took forever though.

Short Rib Parpadelle

Paris Club- Onion soup gratinee ($7.95) and the Salmon rillette ($5.95). The onion soup was meh. Not enough soup so that by the time we got to the soup the bread pieces had already soaked up all the soup, and I wish the cheese was burnt more. Side note: when it comes to onion soup, I think Chicago Cut does a pretty good job. The Salmon rillettes were also meh. Not enough flavor.

Onion soup. 

Lack of flavor

Hub 51- Just so we'd be full, did another order of the burger here. Solid nothing special.

Doesn't look as appetizing when the burger is half eaten

Total Spent:
RPM Italian- $5 (including tax and tip)
Paris Club- $6 (including tax and tip)
Hub 51- $4 (including tax and tip)

TOTAL: $15
GIFT CARD BALANCE: $17.54
