Viaduct Specials; More Today Show Appearances

VIADUCT PROMOS—A few local spots have some specials in honor of the great headache that is the Alaskan Way Viaduct. Bus commuters, dine at Sazerac and the restaurant will deduct the cost of bus fare from your entree. Also, the restaurant is offering a (presumably non-viaduct-flavored) cocktail called "gridlock." Meanwhile in West Seattle, Wing Dome is offering a "closure composure" happy hour all day every day while the viaduct is closed. [EaterWire]

TODAY SHOW—Eater has a few more details on who's showing up at the Today show taping this week. Andy Kent, lead trainer at Caffe Vita, will be showing Hoda and Kathie Lee how to pour latte art in a segment tomorrow morning. Also, Washington Beer Blog's Kendall Jones and Seattle Wine Gal's Barbara Evans will be extolling the virtues of our local libations in a segment that will air Friday. Between that and the Murray Stenson bit, the show's hostesses will be in dire need of some coffee. [EaterWire, Seattle Wine Gal]
