Hungry yet?

Today in Cafe Society: • Fox restaurants offering crafty deals for winter meals. • Mozart Bar gets ready for Mozart -- or some piano player. • Snarf's sub shop opening on Capitol Hill. • More proof that Democrats will buy anything Obama-related. • Macaroni Grill closing in Cherry Creek. • Good news for GoodBelly, if you can stomach it.

I think there's a dirty joke in that last headline, but I'll be damned if I know where...
