Streat's New Happy Hour; Groupon Gave Away a Lot of Food

NORTH CAMPUS — Streat has a new happy hour menu, which you can preview for free tomorrow (with the purchase of a beverage, "preferably the adult kind"). March 17, 4:00 to 7:00. [Eaterwire]

EAST SIDE — According to the Chowhounders, Franklin Barbecue's recently opened brick-and-mortar is charging $2 more per pound for brisket than the trailer did. Scandal! (Although the Franklin website still lists the $13/pound price.) We guess air conditioning costs money? [Chow]

SXSW WIRE — Groupon gave out over 4,000 empanadas during SXSWi! That is quite a few empandas. They partnered with Mmmpanadas to create the cleverly-titled "Grouponadas." They also served over 1,500 people at a free brunch at the Iron Cactus. [Groupon]
