Daily's Bread?

Burlington Free Press [1] readers who have their subscription fees debited automatically are rewarded with a Freeps "PressPass." The credit-card-sized certificate is good for 20 percent discounts at a slew of area restaurants listed on a colorful brochure.

Sounds like a good deal, right? Well, it might help if the Free Press owned a time machine. You can't spend a penny at "hot" restaurants such as Adrianas (closed), Miguel's Stowe Away (closed) or Chef's Table (closed). A few places on the list have changed names, too. Greenstreet's became Quatorze and then Quatre [2], and The Rusty Scuffer is now the Scuffer Steak & Ale House [3]. For a touch of the surreal, the coupon promises discounts at Coyote's Tex-Mex Café, formerly located on lower Church Street, and at Tilley's Café [4], the restaurant that took over its spot.

Maybe it's just tough to keep up with the quick-changing downtown resto scene. But one thing's for sure, as the promotional text points out: The BFP PressPass "is a unique discount card."

Look for another correction in the Freeps this week. The daily reported last Tuesday that Linda Grishman's Sweet on Vermont [5] artisan chocolates would be featured on that day's "Rachael Ray Show." [6] In fact, the show was being taped on Tuesday, and will air sometime in the next few weeks, Grishman guesses.

The Burlington-based chocolatier sent the show's staff 420 bars in eight flavors. Each guest at Tuesday's taping got a three-pack.

But they didn't get to try Grishman's newest product line, "In the Dark," which makes its debut in a few weeks. The name reflects the confections' 72-percent cacao content. The bars will come in four flavors, including "organic crispy rice" and "espresso cacao nib crunch."
