Melty March Madness with Blue Fog Market

Blue Fog Market on Polk St. recently started serving up some cheese melts until 3 in the morning and we’re teaming up with them and their Gough St. location to bring you the Melty March Madness bracket tournament.  We’ve set up a bracket to help you concoct your dream grilled cheese combination. For starters, you’re given aged cheddar and havarti cheese on grilled rustic white bread for $4.99 and then you could spiff it up with a plethora of different meat, veggie, spread options for a small additional price. With options ranging from flank steak to jalapeño to onion mayonaise to mango, your wildest dreams might become a reality. From now until March Madness is over (April 8th), we’ll be asking you to cast your votes on our Facebook and Twitter pages for your preferred toppings until we have a winner from each bracket (2 different veggies, 1 meat, 1 spread).  Another way to vote is to just simply order a cheese melt for yourself through GoPago and whatever toppings you choose will also be counted as votes. To sweeten things up, there are deals in it for you too.  Whenever a topping beats out its opponent, that winning topping will be discounted by 50% until we reach the final round of voting, which will determine the ultimate cheese melt.  Then the winning ultimate cheese melt combination will be featured exclusively on GoPago for only $5 +tax (you’re getting some tasty toppings for free) until the end of April. Instead of having zero control over your favorite college basketball team’s outcome in March Madness, you’ve got the power in our Melty...

Since then, I’ve been contemplating ordering some flowers for myself … In the mirror, I’ve practiced the surprised face I would make when I first saw the flowers, as well as my answers when coworkers ask questions. Who are these from? Well, I don’t know. They have no note, maybe a secret admirer. What’s the occasion? Hmm, I think someone just really loves me. What? YOU got flowers? Who do you think you are? Ummm (I don’t really have an answer for the one. I should keep practicing). Anyway, I could go on, but I will spare you. Since I don’t really want to get flowers for myself, I am putting out another call For flowers! It’s Wednesday and for the rest of the week, Oakbrook Florist is offering 50% off for an order of Designer’s Choice or Dozen Roses. I’ll take...
