Kale & Clover: Mindful Kitchen Today through Sunday, March 1

This week local restaurateur German Osio opens his fourth concept called Kale & Clover: Mindful Kitchen. As a health-focused restaurant, Kale & Clover offers mostly vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free with the option to add proteins to many dishes. In addition to breakfast, lunch, and dinner, the restaurant serves cold-pressed juices, smoothies, nut milks, herb-infused spa waters, locally roasted coffees, and espresso drinks, as well as beer and wine. During the restaurant's opening week a select number of diners will be able to try the new menu for free: the first 30 guests for breakfast, 30 for lunch, and 40 for dinner each day will receive a complimentary meal up to $18 value. Donations will be accepted to benefit Amy's Army, which benefits individuals with spinal cord injuries.

Sprinkles Cupcakes Tuesday, February 24

Sprinkles Cupcakes releases their first savory cupcake later this week and we bet you can guess the flavor. Sprinkles' maple bacon cupcake from Friday, February 27 to Thursday, March 19 -- but this Tuesday you can get a sneak preview of the savory treat for the reasonable price of nothing at all. Beginning at noon on Tuesday, the cupcake shop will giveaway 100 free maple bacon cupcakes made with Madagascar Bourbon vanilla cake that's studded with pieces of bacon and topped with maple cream cheese frosting.

Crudo Wednesday, February 25

When it comes to Wednesday night dining, there are few better deals in town than Crudo's deal, which includes two courses and wine for just $20 a person.

The deal also includes a family-style Farmers Crudo, or a salad course using local veggies, and a bottle of wine. Reservations are recommended. Call 602-358-8666 and mention "polenta board."
