DEAL / Groupon Thursday - Whiskey Tango All American Bar & Grill – Hollywood - $10 for $20 Worth of American Fare and Drinks

Voted "Best Bar" in 2011 by the New Times, Whiskey Tango All American Bar & Grill whets appetites with an eclectic menu of dishes inspired by America's culinary topography. Chef Elliott’s spaghetti sandwich gives dizzy forks a whirling respite with its buttery loaf of toasted garlic bread stuffed with juicy chicken, mozzarella, tomato sauce, and cascading ringlets of spaghetti ($8.95). Pursed lips can slurp spoonfuls of Georgia sweet vidalia onion soup, crowded with caramelized slivers of vidalia petals and capped with melted cheddar cheese ($5.95) before bare teeth shred tender morsels off a main course of St. Louis–style ribs ($13.95 for a half rack; $16.95 for a full rack). Like eating steak with chopsticks, the San Diego tuna nachos synthesize distinct food identities by topping fried wanton chips with slices of sushi-grade tuna cooked rare, seaweed salad, and pickled ginger ($13.95).

EVENT / The 31 Days of German Riesling," a celebration of Germany's most famous wine varietal.

What was once Riesling Week has expanded into a month-long spectacular, giving you that much more time to savor the most rejuvenating member of the white wine family. Local restaurants will commemorate this monumental stretch by offering custom pairing menus, by-the-glass specials, and premium flights, which unlike other flights don’t require you to take off your shoes and belt. Retailers will also join the festivities with in-store tastings of the cool honey, citrus, and peach-flavored elixir -- a convenient way to honor Germany’s greatest export that does not rhyme with Bowitzki.Mimai Arae
