Most modern cuisine is a continuation of classic dishes, just as a computer is a slightly modified typewriter and a washing machine is a river in a box. Revel in palatable progress with today's Groupon to Bar Louie. Choose between the following options:

• For $7, you get $15 worth of lunch or weekend brunch fare.
• For $12, you get $25 worth of dinner fare.

Bar Louie's casual atmosphere is marked by indoor and outdoor seating sprinkled with flat-screen TVs, artistic photography, and tables brimming with classic American fare and eclectic international creations. The extensive menu is filled with more than 15 sandwiches ($7.99+) and 10 burgers including the fried Louie dressed in bacon and a fried egg ($10.49). Kick-start lunch or dinner with the italian stallion pizza, laden with double sausage and pepperoni bathing in a lake of marinara ($9.99). Or, turn mealtime into an excuse to stamp flavor passports with the four tacos plato festooned with cilantro and avocado ($12.49) or an exotic salad such as the Hong Kong, awash in mandarin oranges, sesame seeds, and peanut ginger dressing ($8.49). Add a palatable postscript to meals with brownie bites ($3.99) or mama's banana pudding ($3.99).

Bar Louie's brunch offerings, available Saturday and Sunday, include the hangover helper, a smattering of tater tots, chorizo, bacon, and queso sauce mixed and served with two eggs ($8.99), as well as elusive pancakes ($7.99) that are only available from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. or during simultaneous solar and lunar eclipses. Weekday lunch hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
