Tue update: Gift certificate discount, Bon Ton Cafe, cooooold beer, Peabody wants its stuff back, Dial a Human

There’s a new promotional code for the restaurant discount gift certificates accepted by many restaurants Downtown – enter LABOR at checkout for 60% off.  You can scroll to the bottom of the right sidebar of this blog to get them.  Enter 38103 (or your zip code) in the box to search, or use the link that’s there to get to their website.  The $25 value certificates, which normally sell for $10, are now $4 with the LABOR coupon code through August 31.

I don’t have all the details, but apparently one of the people who worked at Bon Ton Cafe passed away.  A reader reported that there was much sadness and crying there today.  I’ll try to get more details.  My condolences to the staff at Bon Ton.

The Coors Light at Big Foot Lodge is apparently a bigger deal than I realized.  I knew it was a good deal – $3.99 for 34 oz. – but I didn’t know they exclusively have “super cold” Coors Light in this area.  It’s served below freezing.  Also, Bud Select is back on tap for people (me included) who prefer that to Coors Light.

The Peabody Hotel is making a unique offer – “Amnesty for Artifacts.”  Those who pilfered something from the hotel over the years have the chance to return it, no questions asked.  They figure there have been a lot of well-intentioned guests over the years who just wanted a souvenir to take home with them, and that some of those guests might like to give their souvenirs back to decorate the hotel’s new Memorabilia Room.  Artifacts can be sent to the Peabody Hotel, attn: Public Relations, 149 Union Ave., Memphis, TN 38103.  Call 901-529-4179 if you have questions.

Website I found the other day – Dial a Human.  It’s a guide for how to get past the automated phone directory and get straight to a human operator at many major corporations.

I’ll be at trivia tonight at the Saucer, 7:00.
