I don't know what a groupon is, but back in 1987-90, Hugo's was my breakfast mainstay (when I could afford it, which wasn't very often).
Seems like everyone's got a tale to tell.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hah! The Fringe opener made me think of OldBoy. That movie is all over my brain today. Their worst opening for me was still the liquefying airplane people.

I got $40 at Hugo's for $20. Picked up two and have used both of them. Love Hugo's.

I'll check it out.
Kat, ita, and me, next time I am in LA: we hit Hugo's? Please??

Sure! I don't think I've ever been there.
Whoa. Now I want Roscoe's. That was out of nowhere.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I just bought one for $50 of sushi for $25.00. It's going to be a Christmas present, so it's not even cheating on the don't spend money thing.

java, OF COURSE. The question of course is which one? We always go to the one in Studio City.
ita, we've been before together. You had pasta papa without the eggs. And I think the extra special hot chocolate.

Perkins, groupons work great. It's a little weird the first time you redeem them, but then you get over it.

Weird how?
I've been to Hugo's!

Because it's this weird moment (at least for me) of "are they going to take this or will I look like an ass because I'm going to make a stink?" It's my usual anxiety.
But I learned the hard way (brought coupon 1 twice) that the groupon people send a list of everyone who purchased a groupon and its number and the restaurant then keeps track of what is redeemed and what isn't. The Hugos groupons expire in January (6) and there was still a GIANT list of people who hadn't redeemed them. Must be how restaurants make their money off it.
