Local Food Lover Card from Simple, Good, and Tasty

Check this out: Simple, Good, and Tasty is launching a new Local Food Lovers Program as a way to encourage local, organic, sustainable, and fair-trade food purchases at Twin Cities restaurants and food retailers. Unlike other unwieldy coupon books and the like, the LFLP consists of a simple letterpress card good for all sorts of discounts, including:

- Buy one get one free entrées at Common Roots and Brasa Premium Rotisserie
- $10 off 2 entrees at Spoonriver
- Free desserts with the purchase of an entree at the Birchwood Cafe, Restaurant Alma, and Sen Yai Sen Lek
- 10% off all purchases at Galactic Pizza, Grassroots Gourmet, and Local D'lish
- $8 off a cake at Salty Tart
- $5 off your $25 purchase at Clancey's Meat and Fish Market
- $5 off your $40 purchase at Linden Hills Co-op
- 2 free items with a $20 purchase from Sweet Cheeks Baby Food
- A free glass of wine with the purchase of an entree at the Craftsman
- A buy one get one free sandwich at Golden's Deli
- Buy 1 get 1 free ice cream cones at Pumphouse Creamery every month for a year
- $2 off every $10 purchase at Fireroast Mountain Cafe
- 20% off all of your purchases at Peacecoffee.com

The card costs $29 and offers more than $100 dollars in savings. It makes a great gift--and should help support New Year's resolutions for more mindful eating in 2010.

You can buy the cards online, The Birchwood Cafe and Brasa (both Minneapolis and St. Paul locations), Local D'lish, and Grassroots Gourmet. Or, better yet, stop by SGT's one-year celebration happy hour tonight at the Craftsman from 5-7 p.m. (free apps + Brett Olson speaks about his organization Renewing the Countryside) and pick one up.
