This past Monday was my birthday, and I turned 27. I had to work that day so I didn’t really do anything that spectacular, but that evening we went to grab something for dinner. Those who know me are aware that I rarely go out to eat without some sort of coupon or discount (except for some fast food operations), although there are also those places that I wouldn’t go even with a coupon.

On Monday night we went to Cecil Whittaker’s Pizzaeven though we didn’t have a coupon, but they were running a special of 50% off every menu item. We ended up getting a tortellini dish, a manicotti dish, and a small 9″ St Louis style pizza. It was pretty much what you’d expect from a hole in the wall pizza joint, but I thought it was pretty good. I’ve heard a lot of people say that they don’t like the STL style pizza cause they use provel cheese, but I actually liked it.

And how could I not like it when the whole tab came to just under $10. The 50% off Monday special is definitely worth it.

Today marks a great day here in St Louis. Wendy’s is finally back in business. About a year ago all the Wendy’s locations in the St Louis area closed down. I believe it was because the owner of the franchises was going bankrupt, but I’m not certain. Whatever the reason though, they’re finally back.

They’re also offering a new 99 cent breakfast menu. I’m not a huge fast-food breakfast fan, but I can appreciate what they’re doing. I am glad that I’ll be able to get a Junior Bacon Cheeseburger again. And I’ll probably get a Frosty at some point. Most importantly though, I’m glad they didn’t replace the locations with some other worthless burger joint.
