Bread was found to be a superior sandwich foundation after attempts to fill a waffle cone with bacon, lettuce, tomato, and mayo proved rather unsuccessful. Celebrate these unsung slices with today's Groupon: for $7, you get $15 worth of breakfast, sandwiches, and more at Illium Cafe in Troy.
Chef Marla at Illium Cafe recruits local and organic ingredients to wage the battle against morning and midday hunger. The breakfast steak, egg, and cheese wrap tucks all four food groups snugly into an edible blanket ($5.50), whereas a bowl of the bison chili ($5.50) roams freely, grazing on a pear salad with spring mix, candied macadamia nuts, crumbled roquefort and a parmesan-balsamic reduction ($7.50). Illium Cafe's corned beef sandwich showcases slow-braised New York corned beef, swiss cheese, and specialty dijon on marble-rye bread with coleslaw ($9.50). The mozzarella-chicken-melt panini sings an arietta accompanied by an arugula alto, sliced-tomato tenor, and basil-pesto basso continuo ($8.25).
Located in downtown Troy, Illium Cafe also pours an array of caffeinated concoctions, such as the coffee of the day ($1.65–$2.50), frothy cappuccinos ($2.95–$3.65), iced frappes ($3–$4), and eye-opening cymbal crashes in a cup.

The Groupon Guide to: Surfing the Internet
Containing everything from the great works of literature to spoilers for the upcoming presidential election, the Internet can be a valuable resource—if you know how to use it. Use these tips to ensure a productive trip to cyberspace and back:
- Type the word surf into your computer's keyboard at anytime to access your Internet's web browser.
- If your computer is less than 10 years old, your browser must be voice navigated. Shout such things as "photo of a helicopter" or "birth parents?" and let the Internet do the rest.
- The Internet has more than 60 websites. Remember your favorites by "bookmarking" them (writing their names down on a bookmark you keep nailed to your computer).
- Surf safely. Not only is this practical advice, it's also the name of the web's official mascot, Surf Safely, the surfing coyote who reminds children not to burn down the Internet.
- Unplug and unwind. Using the Internet for more than four minutes a day will cause hair to grow uncontrollably from your mouth.
