Sunday, August 15, 2010 22:54 1 Comment
A grocery store is like a carnival midway—it offers shelves and shelves of goodies that only become available after lobbing baseballs at stacks of bottles. Today's Groupon brings the fresh food to you without the messy carnie cons: for $30, you get $60 worth of fresh, organic fare delivered to your door from Delicious Planet. This Groupon must be used in one order and must be for at least $50 worth of food. A delivery charge of $6.95 is not included, but any remaining balance after the minimum $50 food order may be used toward the delivery fee. Before ordering, check the list of delivery areas and look for your zip code. This Groupon may also be used toward Delicious Planet's Detox Program, or Thanksgiving or holiday menus.
As a dependable source for door-delivered gourmet organic fare, Delicious Planet is an ideal choice for busy individuals who still want to eat organically and nutritiously. All deliverable entrees are packaged securely and environmentally soundly and are ready for freezing, heating, or storing forever in preparation for John Cusack–foretold apocalypses. Breakfast items such as the coconut brown-rice porridge ($3.99) steal morning meals back from psychedelic cereal spokesmen, and the vegan, gluten-free mondo chipotle black-bean burger ($10.95) entree delivers burger bliss without firing up the grill. With a host of sandwiches and wraps and plenty of cooked frozen fare, Delicious Planet brings professional meals with vital, flavorful, and healthy variety, while also providing a viable alternative to rowdy, raucous farmers' markets and their notoriously foulmouthed veggie vendors.
Delicious Planet's founder, Randi Carter, is a trained nutritionist and alumnus of Seattle's Bastyr Institute; her business today is individually focused with an extensive food inventory to complement healthy lifestyles. Great for diet-conscious professionals with no time to cook or those who've had it with the flashy but ultimately empty moves of choreographed Mountie delivery services, Delicious Planet delivers locally reared fare to its adoring human supporters. Polish your demon-shaped doorknocker in preparation for a home-delivered sustenance upgrade.

$10 for $25 Worth of Exotic Cocktails, Creative Bar Fare, and More at Del Rey
Tuesday, August 3, 2010 23:22 No Comments
To commemorate one year of customer savings, early discount bakeries decorated birthday cakes with candied shekels and lit candles with burning papyrus tax returns. Celebrating the one-year anniversary of Groupon's inaugural feature in Seattle, today's deal déjà vus Seatown residents again: for $10, you get $25 worth of gastropub grub and drinks at Del Rey, located in Belltown. Today's Groupon is not valid for happy hour.
Del Rey's chef, Derek Knudsen, infuses classic bar dishes with a gourmand's flair, offering a menu of wash-downable delights, fried yum, and Southwestern staples. After tasting the blackened ahi tuna ($13.95), truffle mac 'n’ cheese ($7.95), and churros with chocolate-Kahlua sauce ($5.95), tone-deaf taste buds find themselves serenading incisors with John Fogerty lyrics. Early feasters can enjoy Saturday- and Sunday-brunch favorites such as the vegetarian breakfast burrito ($7.95) or Kahlua French toast ($6.95), washed down with one of Del Rey's specialty Bloody Marys ($7.50–$8). Bathed in glowing red light, diners settle into intimate booths with selections from Del Rey's stocked bar. More than 100 tequilas spicy up margaritas, including the jalapeño-cucumber ($8) and the triple berry ($7.50), while the Dark N Stormy quenches the thirsts of sadistic weathermen with house-made ginger beer and dark rum ($7.50).
Set in a re-fashioned Paramount Pictures film-storage facility, Del Rey's atmosphere melds its old-school pizzazz with modern panache. Weekday evenings attract more-quiet diners, who set up shop along the outdoor seating area to enjoy gorgeous views of the bay and the friendly service, while late nights bring ambient beats that bounce off the domed ceiling and into the ears and harmonious hips of lively Belltown crowds.

$15 for $35 Worth of Pacific Northwest Fare and Drinks at Jimmy’s on Broadway
Sunday, August 1, 2010 23:22 No Comments
In the 19th century, upscale restaurants asked that wealthy patrons wear no fewer than two monocles, and that all pocket watches be collected at the door to discourage timed pork-pie-eating contests. Get a taste of fine dining without all the rules and regulations with today's Groupon: for $15, you get $35 worth of upscale cuisine at Jimmy's on Broadway, located at the Silver Cloud Hotel in Capitol Hill. This deal is not valid for happy-hour specials.
Jimmy's on Broadway offers diners an extensive all-day menu filled with inventive, extravagant fare including robust salads and robe-busting burgers and sandwiches. The cone 'o' fries ($6), a popular appetizer, starts things off with garlic- and rosemary-garnished French fries served in a triangular receptacle recycled from the dunce caps of an earlier, duncier century. Mixed greens and avocado-topped romaine join crispy fried onion strings and barbecue-dressed poultry for the Thai BBQ chicken salad ($12), while the avocado-bacon Swiss burger ($11) delivers exactly what it promises, plus a side of fries and the faint, flattering flush associated with the onset of bovine telekinesis. Diners who prefer their meat freed from its bread fetters can sink their canines into a 12-ounce rib eye steak ($27), basted in rosemary-thyme butter and served with fresh vegetables. Jimmy's full-service breakfast menu silences the chirruping stomachs of early birds with brioche French toast ($10), or lighter offerings such as the veggie-heavy egg white frittata ($10).
With its extensive drink menu, Jimmy's plies patrons with top-shelf martinis and specialty drinks such as the weather-inspired, rum-enhanced dark and stormy ($9). Wine direct from Washington, California, and Oregon is available by the bottle or glass, and local microbrew beer is always on tap. With flat-panel televisions lining Jimmy's laid-back bar area, sippers and suppers can stay apprised of the game while enjoying an upscale culinary experience that beats eating caviar in a tuxedo T-shirt on Cutoff Khaki Fridays.

$5 for $10 Worth of Coffee and Tea (or $15 for $30 Worth of Online Coffee and Tea Products) at Zoka Coffee Roasters & Tea Company
Monday, July 26, 2010 23:50 No Comments
Until public-transit officials make our dream of commuting to work by rollycoaster a reality, we'll have to settle for the adrenaline rush of traditional pick-me-ups. Percolate perkiness with today's Groupon: stock up on coffee, tea, and more at Zoka Coffee Roasters & Tea Company with your choice of two deal types:
- For $5, you get $10 worth of in-store purchases at one of Zoka Coffee's three Washington locations.
- For $15, you get $30 worth of coffee and tea products from Zoka’s online store.
Winner of Roast magazine's 2008 Macro Roaster of the Year, Zoka has its brewmasters travel throughout Africa, Asia, and South America in search of the richest coffee deposits. And in-store customers get to sample them all, whether cuddling up with a 12-ounce mocha ($4) inside the dark-wooded walls of Zoka's Greenlake District location, having an intellectual debate with a muffin ($2.50) at the student-filled University of Washington location, or headbanging to the new Slayer espresso machine in the heart of Kirkland. Zoka's pro-level baristas make sure each cup of java juice is fresh and potent by serving it mere minutes after it's roasted, rather than minutes after it's emerged zombie-like from a vacuum-packed plastic tomb. Otherwise, indulge in a pot of tea ($4.25) paired with a scone ($2.50), or find a heartier, bread-based drinking buddy in a breakfast sandwich ($5). Each Zoka location treats customers to two hours of free WiFi and assorted Internet skateboarding.
Those who prefer to indulge in their pleasures online can sample Zoka’s flavors via its online store, including the café's signature dark-bean distillate: Bolivia Central Cup of Excellence Coffee ($24 per 12-ounce bag), a jasmine and cherry-scented "pinot noir of coffee" from the Yungas region that ends in a cinnamon finish. To keep your sweet tooth from eating its young, pick up the Espresso Paladino ($11 per 12-ounce bag) coffee for its honeyed cornucopia of walnuts, caramel, and cocoa flavors. Tea-timers, meanwhile, can browse Zoka's herbal tea varieties, such as the stress-obliterating organic chamomile tea ($8.75 per quarter-pound bag). Whether experienced via fiber optics or reality, Zoka Coffee Roasters & Tea Company's abundance of delicious coffees and teas will keep you awake long enough to finish your thesis on the effects of sleep deprivation.

$10 for $25 Worth of Pizza, Pasta, Burgers, Beer, and More at Bison Creek Pizza in Burien
Tuesday, July 13, 2010 23:59 No Comments
Anyone who’s tried nailing an oven-fresh pizza pie to a wall knows that pizza looks better briefly propped on a five-finger pedestal. Today’s Groupon puts $25 worth of pizza back where it performs best. For $10, you get $25 worth of pizza, pasta, burgers, beer, and more at Bison Creek Pizza, located inside the historic Burien Theater.
All of the savory pies on Bison Creek's menu are crafted from homemade whole wheat or regular dough and sprinkled with 100% real cheese with your choice of sauce (trailblazer barbecue, zesty red, garlic cream, or primo pesto). Try Rod's Wrangler Roundup ($13–$25), which corrals pepperoni, pineapple, green peps, sausage, and fresh garlic on a barbecue-covered base. Vegetarians, meanwhile, will giddy up over the veggie supreme ($12–$24) smacked with a garden-fresh medley of mushrooms, olives, onions, green peps, tomatoes, and pineapple. Wheat and gluten-free pizzas will appease the allergic, and the lil bandit's menu caters to teenier tastes. While waiting for your pizza to pupate from its oven cocoon, ward off vampires and coworkers who keep "accidentally" almost kissing you with an order of garlic bread ($4), or branch out into chicken strippers ($7.95) dunked in barbecue sauce or homemade ranch. Diners who already had pizza for breakfast can bury their hunger-sorrows in a Bison Creek quarter-pounder ($6.95) or a baked plate of smoked gouda mac 'n' cheese with bacon ($9.95) before closing with a giant chocolate chip cookie ($5.25) that feeds two.
Bison Creek occasionally plays host to a roving selection of live music, with no cover for those 21 and older. So whether the night's house band is the AC/DC-esque Chrome Molly (July 17) or a suspiciously accurate Def Leppard "tribute band," get in the party spirit with beverages from the bar, including Skittles-infused vodka, spiked fruity punches, and house wines. Stampede to the historic Burien Theater and enjoy a rowdy late-night slice, to grab a carbtastic lunch, or just to treat allergic ears to a night of gluten-free local tunes with today's Groupon.

$10 for $21 Worth of Tacos and Drinks at Barracuda Taqueria
Tuesday, July 13, 2010 23:58 No Comments
After scientists revealed UFOs were actually full-grown tortillas, people everywhere filled swimming pools with guac and beans to catch and dissect the floury creatures. Nab a tender, baby disc with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $21 worth of tacos, Mexican eats, and drinks at Barracuda Taqueria.
Eschewing the lettuce, tomatoes, and frequent Seinfeld references favored by more Americanized tacos, all of the tacos on Barracuda's menu are crafted from homemade corn tortillas and served with cilantro and diced onions. Try the al pastor ($4), a streetwise Mexi-meat of slow-roasted pork marinated in peppers, achiote, pineapple, and spices, then topped with pineapple pico. The even más auténtico lengua ($4)—beef tongue topped with pickled red onions and queso fresco—is a street-stand classic from the streets of Mexico City and tastes best through a flamboyantly colored lucha libre mask. Vegetarians, meanwhile, can fill up on the veggie taco, packed with rice, black beans, and sautéed 'shrooms and squash ($4). And from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, Barracuda serves breakfast burritos topped with locally sourced eggs, chorizo, barbacoa, jalapeños, potatoes, beans, ham, and more. Preface the tortilla parade by conjuring up a cauldron of chile con queso ($5) or the Barracuda street nachos ($7) caked with mounds of chile con queso and picadillo meat, but keep your vestigial second stomach open for a dessert of Mexican pot de crème (Mexican chocolate topped with cream, $4.50).
A casual décor complete with walls encrusted with beer caps and a visible cooler gives Barracuda a cool, chill ambience where everyone feels like they're hanging out on their best friend's deck, especially if they order a frothy beer or Barracuda's refreshing sangria. Discuss the latest concept album idea with your psychedelic mariachi band over a few tasty tacos and drinks at Barracuda Taqueria with today's Groupon.

$5 for $10 Worth of Organic, European-Style Baked Goods and Beverages at Boulangerie Nantaise
Sunday, July 11, 2010 23:23 No Comments
Unlike speedy in-and-out coffee shops, cafés indulge fantasies of sneaking off through misty European streets paved with pain au chocolat and lined with gingerbread-biscotti parking meters. Indulge in savory streetside fare with today’s Groupon: for $5, you get $10 worth of organic, European-style baked goods and beverages at Boulangerie Nantaise in Belltown.
Open for breakfast, lunch, brunch, and first-half-of-the-day snack time, Boulangerie Nantaise puts pep into patrons' steps by means of healthy, all-organic grub. The French-infused bakery serves up an array of specially prepared goodies to appease even the most ravenous Paul Bunyan clones, including handcrafted artisan breads ($0.85–$5.50), authentic European pastries ($1–$5.20), specialty salads ($3.50–$6.73), soups ($5.27–$7.27), and sandwiches ($6.82), with lots of veggie and vegan options. Start your Francophile day by breaking through the sweet crunch of a twice-baked almond croissant ($3.75) chased with a shot of espresso, vivid and tasty as a skydive through clouds of unearthly mana. Come midday, indulge in a toasty le dinde grillée sandwich stuffed with turkey, havarti, roasted red peppers, Dijon mustard, and butter, or keep your lunch hour light with a petite la vegan salad (roasted red peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, and mixed greens; $3.50) topped off with a seasonal fruit tart ($4.50).
All of Boulangerie Nantaise's menu items are made fresh daily to ensure maximum deliciousness and maintain a balanced e-Farmer's Almanac. Grab a seat at one of the bakery's cozy outdoor tables to people-watch as you enjoy your edibles, or just swing by to pick up a few fresh loaves to contribute to a summer picnic with a gaggle of hungry-eyed ghostwriters. Boulangerie Nantaise's quaint, old-world charm lets you feel like you traversed the Atlantic in search of authentic tastes without the inconvenience of salt brine and stubborn barnacles.

$10 for $20 Worth of Upscale Drinks, Coffee, and Bar Fare at the Baltic Room
Thursday, July 8, 2010 23:24 No Comments
In the early 20th century (the era known as Prehibition), bars were forbidden to let their liquors stay out past curfew, for fear that they would be corrupted by cocaine-infused colas. Enjoy drinks in an alcohol-safe environment with today's deal: for $10, you get $20 worth of upscale drinks, coffee, and bar fare at the Baltic Room in Capitol Hill. This Groupon is not valid for the cover charge.
The Baltic Room's classy, film-noir vibe and hip-shakeable tunes make it a beautifully lit backdrop for enjoying a wide array of sumptuous sippables and delectable edibles. The multifaceted lounge cracks itself open at 7:00 a.m. on weekdays and 8:30 a.m. on weekends to refresh night-shift rodeo clowns with locally roasted Caffe Vita coffee ($1.25–$3.50) and light breakfast eats, such as fresh pastries ($1.50–$4) and breakfast sandwiches ($3.50). Daytime cocktails, such as the elusive Bloody Mary ($7), are available to mid-morning tipplers who state their orders three times while staring into a darkened mirror.
By evening, the Baltic Room sheds its day-friendly World Cup coverage and morning fare, undergoing a Teen Wolf–like transformation into a debonair dance lounge (check the calendar to see what's playing each night). Valentinos and vamps can swoon into the decadent mohair booths after a few of the Baltic Room's specialty cocktails—such as a classic Jack and Ginger or Cucumber Collins—before reviving themselves with an order from the rotating bar menu, such as spinach-artichoke dip ($6) or lasagna ($6). Sugar-starved sippers can fuel up for the dance floor with a hot tamale ($7), or the formidable pixie stick (Three Olives grape and cherry vodkas, sweet-and-sour mix, and cranberry juice; $7), a fiendishly nostalgic concoction capable of inducing sleepover-style mischief such as cow tipping and bas-relief sculpting. Toss on a pair of spotless spats and head to the Baltic Room for a chance to wine and dine the mild-mannered gun moll next door with today's Groupon.

$12 for $25 Worth of Organic Coffee, Express Shipping, and More at Sip & Ship
Monday, June 28, 2010 23:17 No Comments
Shipping and coffee were the twin pillars of every great civilization—and caused the ironic downfall of Rome when hordes of Visigoths mailed themselves to the capital and clubbed its citizens with sacks of espresso beans. Keep America from sinking into the sea by combining the two with today's Groupon: for $12, you get $25 worth of organic coffee, shipping, and more at Sip & Ship, a one-stop shipping center that's also a full-service coffee shop. This Groupon is good for its locations on Market Street in Ballard and Greenwood Avenue in Greenwood.
Sip & Ship's ship-and-sippers can buy their parcels a ticket out of Seattle with Sip & Ship's expert packaging services ($6 for a packed 6”x6”x6” box), ship it hassle-free, then come back later to receive a reply package—the shop is an authorized receiving location for FedEx, UPS, and DHL. Sip & Ship's friendly staff can also gift-wrap presents (starting at $4.75) so that Grandma can excitedly unwrap her new Twilight boogie board when it's delivered. This comes in especially handy for last-minute shoppers, who can snag a stylish local T-shirt, mug, or jacket on-site, along with a wide assortment of cards for every occasion from "Thank you" to "Get well soon from your freak javelin accident."
After finally firing their priceless collection of antique packing peanuts toward its end zone, postal quarterbacks can reward themselves with a cup of organic, farm-direct coffee, featuring fresh, locally roasted espresso. The sipping end of Sip & Ship brews up a full array of hot and iced espresso drinks, green chai teas, and fruity Italian sodas. Stubborn shippers who insist on waiting in the store until their package receives a reply can stay nourished with homemade scones and cookies, seasonal soups, and sandwiches for both breakfast and lunch. Relax within Sip & Ship's spacious, tasteful coffee shop, surf on the café's free WiFi, and renew your pen-pal relationship with a Turkmenistan totalitarian with today's Groupon.

$15 for a One-Hour Rental of Batting or Pitching Cages at Northshore Sports Complex ($40 Value)
Sunday, June 27, 2010 23:21 No Comments
Like Shakira, a fluid bat swing harnesses snappy hip movements, looks amazing, and catches the eye of every passerby. Brush up on your swing physics with today’s Groupon: for $15, you get a one-hour rental of either a baseball/softball batting cage or pitching cage (a $40 value) at Northshore Sports Complex in Woodinville.
Northshore Sports Complex is a baseball/softball training complex that provides a clean, well-maintained facility for individuals or teams to practice their fundamentals. In Northshore's specialized training cages, budding long-ballers can square off against a semi-automatic pitching machine whose "crush, kill, destroy" setting has been disabled. Nolan Ryans in training, meanwhile, can develop their fastball's smoky contrail with an L-screen pitching net that includes the option of a portable mound and less-portable surrounding stadium. In addition to an hour of swinging the lumber around or launching the stitched hand grenade into a mesh net, you'll also receive 20% off any additional lessons, which are provided by Northshore Sports' highly experienced instructors, who have training-montaged players throughout Washington.
Whether you have the ability to call your shot like Ruth at Wrigley or just gnawed on a baseball for the first time during this morning's breakfast, a little coaching in the cages of Northshore Sports Complex will advance your game to the next base. Call ahead to reserve your time slot.
Lessons are for new students only.

Now that spinach has been deemed a performance-enhancing vegetable, Popeye's future shortstop career hinges on his transition to pan-Asian cuisine. Get a sailor's worth of energizing Oriental eats with today's deal: for $10, you get $20 worth of food and drink at Dragonfish Asian Café's downtown Seattle location.
Dragonfish's extensive dinner menu transports Near Northwest diners to the Far East without the tiresome clicking of ruby-red heels. Preheat your appetite with Lime Rickey shrimp with cashews in a house-made lemongrass-vodka sauce ($8); dreamy tofu pillows with dipping sauces of spicy peanut, sweet-hot mustard, and caramel ginger ($8); or the caramel-ginger chicken, fried chicken sauced in a caramel-ginger concoction with peppers, scallions, and peanuts ($8). Stomachs sashay to the melodies of Dragonfish's sushi; the Dante's Inferno roll takes eating epic poets through nine levels of delicious hell, marked by tempura shrimp, red onion, kaiware, habanero tobiko, eel sauce, and Thai chili sauce ($12). House specialties include the grilled miso beef rib eye, accompanied in its digestive duties by tempura yams and onions ($19), and the Thai green curry, available with chicken ($13) or prawns ($16). Noodle dishes and vegetable plates are also available.
Sweeten your fork on the Chocolate Heaven dessert ($7), a rich chocolate cake that proves wrong the many scientists who argue that chocolate isn't delicious. Lunch and breakfast are also available. The kitchen is open until 1 a.m., so lounge late into the night, toasting life with the Geisha's Teardrops sake cocktail ($8) or the Kongmopolitan cocktail ($9). Dragonfish ups the ante on atmosphere with red shutters lining the windows, palm-frond fans casting soft breezes from above, and a variety of far-out Far East art lining the walls.

$20 for $45 Worth of Mexican Cuisine and Drinks at Peso’s Kitchen & Lounge
Sunday, June 20, 2010 23:07 4 Comments
Though coveting thy neighbor's wife or underground sprinkler system is beyond the pale, longing for a mouthful of their cuisine is an understandable desire. Today's Groupon satisfies desires to eat from the table of our nation's neighbor: for $20, you get $45 worth of Mexican cuisine and drinks at Peso's Kitchen & Lounge, an ethnic Queen Anne eatery with a lively late-night scene.
Open until 2 a.m. seven days a week, Peso's day only truly begins with dinner, so kick off a night of raucous revelry with an order of green-chile-mole nachos ($10) loaded with black beans, pico de gallo, sour cream, and guacamole or a chop chop salad with chicken, bacon, basil, tomatoes, cucumber, and cotija cheese ($7.50). Peso's vast menu covers everyone's favorite entrees, but it also surprises jaded tongues with new flavor combos such as the Yucatan-style spicy rockfish tacos ($10.50), stuffed with pico de gallo, cabbage, and avocado in crema and red taco sauce. Chorizo flautas ($7.50) likewise provide an elegant update on authentic flavors by packing themselves with chevre, scallions, crema, and green-chile coulis, and the spicy lamb taquitos ($8) do the same with jalapeño-mint coulis. Peso's well-edited wine list of varietals priced $30 and under pairs each plate with a leggy tango partner—keeping conversations well lubricated for a long night of flirtatious Star Trek nitpicks and sensual subpoenas.
For diners who get surprised by the sunrise after an epic staring contest over a bartender's margarita (Grand Marnier, cranberry, fresh lemon, a squeeze of lime juice, and Luna Azul Reposado, $8.50) from Peso's specialty cocktails menu, the restaurant also serves a popular breakfast of south-of-the-border scrambles, benedicts, and a ranchera big breakfast burrito ($7.95). Wash it all down with a carafe of Spanish pomegranate sangria ($16.25) as you watch people flutter back to earth after last night's tequila flights ($11–$50). Finally, grab a quick handheld lunch of tacos, burritos, nachos, and more before heading to the office cubicle for some much-needed shuteye.

$10 for $21 Worth of Beefy Eats, Signature Shakes and Homemade Sides at Fatburger
Wednesday, June 16, 2010 22:49 No Comments
Prove your love for hamburgers in a way that naming your first child Hamburger never could with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $21 worth of beefy burgers and sides at Fatburger. Your Groupon can be redeemed at the Bellevue, Redmond, Lynnwood, Issaquah, and Federal Way locations of the old-fashioned burger stand, so drag-race the high-school bully to the nearest or furthest location.
Fatburger's gourmet burgers range from 2.5 oz. single-patty "baby fat" burgers ($2.49) to the XXXL 24 oz. thrice-stacked "triple king" ($9.69), with three more moderate options in between. Made from 100% lean beef, Fatburger's gourmet burger combos start at $4.99 (beer/burger combos start at $5.99), and all of the grilled goodies come topped with fresh veggies, while optional add-ons ($.59–$.89 each) are available for a custom chow-down. Plop a scoop of chili on your burger and cover it with a slice of cheese for a decadent dining experience, or create a breakfast-themed burger with bacon and an egg. Fatburger's chicken sandwich ($4.99 alone or $8.99 for combo; grilled, fried, or spicy), turkey burger ($4.49 alone or $7.99 for combo), and veggie burger ($4.79 alone or $8.49 for combo) offer awesome alternatives to bovine-based meals. Homemade onion rings ($2.89) or skinny fries ($2.39) act as lovable sidekicks for your brooding, misunderstood burger without a cause, while a sweet Maui-banana or cookies-and-cream milkshake ($3.79) can double as the skankified Olivia Newton-John it wins during the final musical number.
The Fatburger legacy dates back to a morbidly obese 1952 sandwich. The modern-day eateries evoke the sleek ambience of mid-century shake shops, where present-day teenagers flip burgers in open kitchens, while ghosts of 1953 teenagers sip milkshakes through two straws and gaze kittenishly at one another in a corner booth. Don't be surprised, though, if you spot Queen Latifah, Brian McKnight, Casper Van Dien, and other future Dancing with the Stars stars in the booth next to you.

$25 for $50 Worth of Organic Fruits and Vegetables from Terra Organics
Monday, June 7, 2010 17:17 No Comments
While fruits have been dubbed nature's candy, they deserve equal billing as nature's intermediaries, often settling land disputes between perpetually-feuding fruit bats and Toucan Sams. Peacefully settle quarrels of your own with a bushel of fruit and vegetables from Terra Organics: with today's Groupon, $25 gets you $50 worth of organic eats at this online organic hub, which delivers to customers in King, Pierce, and Thurston counties. Enter your zip code here to see if your area is serviceable.
Terra Organics' convenient service delivers seasonal fruit, vegetables, and a pop-song's worth of good vibes straight to doorsteps. Though normal service is subscription-based with weekly delivery, this Groupon can be used for a one-time sampling of Terra Organic's cornucopia of fresh produce. Each bundle of goodies varies based on the season, availability, and the advice of Miss Cleo, but a recent vegetable box was packed with mild-flavored red radishes, a pound of fingerling potatoes, crispy sugar snap peas, and other vegetables ($25 for a small, delivery included)—a nutritious alternative to a diet consisting solely of sour gumballs covered in bacon bits. Regular-sized boxes of both veggies and fruits ($37) are packed to the brim with the best of both worlds; recent selections include juicy cantaloupe, cucumbers, and raspberries. Check the Terra Organics website for updates on what's in this week's box.
Owners Dan and Kim Hulse became acquainted while working on an organic farm in Puyallup, and after finding common ground in first-rate organic fruitage, eventually bought their own farmland south of Orting to supply the majority of goods for Terra Organics. Their service enables harvest-craving families to pack each breakfast, lunch, and post-midnight outdoor tea party with hearty, healthy vegetables. Terra Organics also partners with several local producers, meaning each delivered bushel is a small boost for local farms and business.
This Groupon is only available for new customers or those who have not ordered from Terra Organics in a year. Please wait 24 hours for redemption.
