CATERING WIRE — Contigo will add a catering program this fall, and they're now booking for all events, including the winter holidays. [Eaterwire]

FREE PANCAKES — A character named Pancake Bob from the Sims is supposedly "visiting" Austin tomorrow in what is surely not just some weird marketing move but the real thing, like Santa Claus in the mall. The Kerbey Lane at 3000 South Lamar will give away free pancakes from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. tomorrow if you agree to share a photo of you and this Bob character on social media. So, be sure to create a fake Twitter account before you go. [Eaterwire]
