Less green, more Gordo
With everyone and their mom resolving to lose weight in that overly idealistic tradition of the new year, we weren't surprise to hear that North Shore Mexican eatery La Casa Del Gordo (that's "the house of the fat man" for the non-Spanish fluent) is slimming down in 2008 -- when it comes to the prices, that is. On Jan. 8, the restaurant debuts a revamped menu with lower-priced tapas options, from baked goat cheese with rachero-basil sauce ($5.95) to crab cakes with a kick from serrano chiles and mango salsa ($8.25). A new daily happy hour from 4 to 5:30 p.m. with free passed appetizers (they're calling it the oh-so-festive "Cantina Cocktail Hour") is also a treat for your maxxed-out post-holiday bank account. Even the most well-intentioned resolutions are bound to fizzle out by the end of this month anyway, so why delay the inevitable in the face of a good dining deal?
