[title type="h3"]Coolinary Temperatures @ Palace Cafe[/title]
Palace Cafe's Temperature Lunch is back again for the twenty-third year. It's a gimmick, but a good one. Multiply yesterday's official Weather Service high temperature at the airport by ten. The total in cents is the price for today's two-course lunch, from 11:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. weekdays. You get a choice of soup or salad to start, then the daily special entree of the day. If that doesn't move you, the Palace Cafe also has a a Coolinary menu: three courses for $39. Here's the menu for that.
