We’re updating our popular Recession Specials feature. We’ve added wallet saving deals like Fork Etc.’s wine inclusive bistro meal for $40. For the next several days we’ll be rolling out each day’s specials. If you’ve got some suggestions of your own, please add them to the comments. In a week we’ll compile the additions and roll them all into Recession Specials 2.0.

Note, the requirements are these deals include a food component, this is not a drinking guide (not that there’s anything wrong with that, we’re just trying to keep it focused).

Friday afternoon we received a note that Monday evening Pub & Kitchen would be kicking off the Phillies game with a “shotgun rally” of 100 free cans of Sly Fox Pikeland Pils. We were a bit incredulous. Had a Blackberry been compromised? Was someone pulling our leg? Was Pub & Kitchen losing its mind?

But we checked in over the weekend and it is true. Owner, Ed Hackett wants 100 people on the sidewalk shotgunning cans of Pikeland Pils t 7 tonight. Maybe it’s just the thing the Phillies need to get back on track, it’s certainly worth the try.

In other Pub & Kitchen news, the Illadelph spotted the 20th and Lombard bar in last week’s It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia episode.
