Nothing like cold, hard data to excite an economics major like myself about a business chain… @StephMarch points to an article about Darden Restaurants’ (of Olive Garden and Red Lobster fame) brand management strategies, @TCFoodies samples the tubesteaks, truffled chicken sausage, and gelato outside @SurdyksLiquor, @CafeMaude announces a second Istanbul Night to meet high demand for the sell-out first event this Friday, @BulldogNE advertises their new specials (the Big Kahuna burger features pickled ginger and wasabi mayo — yum!), and @Starbucks gifts 800 free pints of ice cream per hour on Facebook.
