Suzi's, Lick Ice Cream Celebrates

The Sustainable Food Center forms a supergroup, Wheatsville comes to your door, and more in today's food news.

Who says one is the loneliest number? To mark the one year anniversary of their fancy new digs, Suzi’s China Grill will be offering $1 appetizers (including faves like rice paper rolls and sesame scallops) during dinner service, Oct. 19-21. After letting your stomach settle, head upstairs to Rebel Pizza Bar for their late night happy hour (Sunday-Thursday, 9pm-close) for half off 10” pizzas, $5 glasses of wine and Rebel-Ritas, and $2 off pints and apps.

Sometimes when we are feeling dreamy, we like to imagine the meet cute that brought Lick Honest Ice Creams and Mockingbird Domestics together for a home goods collection. Was it at a book store? A roller derby? A rally for Bernie Sanders? However they came together, the pairing has yielded some adorable ice cream bowls and spoons. Be sure to stop by Mockingbird tomorrow to check them out and to attend a Lick ice cream workshop with Genius Gin (tickets here). And on Tuesday, Oct. 20, stop by Lick’s South Lamar flagship for a free scoop celebrating their fourth anniversary. 7-10pm.
