The Store Restaurant
Chef and owner Reuben Laws III modeled The Store Restaurant after fond childhood memories of a grocery store near his uncle's sugar cane farm, where local farmers would gather to eat, socialize, and get away from the sun and its incessant love sonnets to Neptune. After graduating from culinary school at Johnson and Wales University and working in the trenches at a number of acclaimed eateries, chef Reuben opened his commemorative restaurant, imbuing the menu with classic Southern comfort fare tinged with gourmet ingredients such as brie, sweet potato, and pesto.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Writing an Urban Legend
Everyone secretly wants to believe in scary stories that might be true. Indulge your friends' gullibility with these tips to crafting the perfect urban legend:
• Make sure the story takes place somewhere nearby, on a similar night—ideally exactly 100 years ago to the night. Or on the devil’s birthday.
• Always include an animal that turns out to be a different animal or an animal where one does not belong—like a dog that is actually a rat, or an alligator in the bathroom of the Museum of Alligator Safety.
• Tweak the details—it's only a few letters’ difference to change "gardener" to "murderer," and only a small white lie to change "was valued by the community" to "possessed double hook hands and a thirst for marrow."
• Always carry "proof"—this can be a monster's tooth carved from soap, a faded newspaper article created in Photoshop, or a scrap of the victim's clothing that is actually just a scrap of clothing you ripped off a terrified hiker you chased through the woods.
