During the entire month of May, the group's stable of eateries will grant teachers and school employees presenting identification $10 discounts on meals ― though not, sadly, alcohol. There is no limit to the number of slightly discounted meals a teacher may enjoy, nor is there a minimum purchase required ― which means you could waltz in, flash your badge, and tuck into a light meal of water, creamed spinach, and a side of red wine butter for a measly two or three bucks after taxes and tip.
Why teachers, and why this particular bunch of restaurants? Because it's Teacher Appreciation Month, and Lark Creek don Michael Dellar is father to two public school teachers. "Being a teacher in California is particularly tough, given budget cutbacks, layoffs, and the general state of the economy," sayeth Dellar via the PR machine. "We want to show the teachers in our communities across the Bay Area how much we appreciate their hard work by giving back and continuing to offer this promotion each May."
Indeed. We shall toast him with béarnaise.
