Cowboy Chow in Dallas’ Deep Ellum offers attention-getting promotion with marked-down entrees
It's a "bail out menu" with lower prices, a play on the fact that the economy is in bad shape.
Cowboy Chow is offering a "bail out menu" featuring several of its most popular, slow-cooked entrees priced at $7 each "for a limited time". Which they describe as "until the recession ends". Which is, I guess, whenever they feel like raising the price again.
The items include enchiladas, quesadillas, flautas, Indian pizza, tomatillo chicken salad, or cast iron chicken pot pie.

The menu (on line) says dinner and lunch quesidillas are $7.00. I recall them always being $7.00, so how is that a "special" price?

CitizenKane, good question. only some of the items are actually "marked down". like the flautas - they're usually $8 so that's $1 off.
again, this is an "attention-getting promotion". bail-out. exploiting the bad economy, see? eat here for $7. wow. that kind of thing

The menu online has the $7.00 items under "Recession Menu" - sounds like the bailout menu to me, 'cept the one posted on SideDish had more items.
Web designers are always the last to know, right?

Tried them this last weekend, not so impressed. The brisket tasted like an ordinary pot roast and the rice had bizarre seasoning that I could not quite identify. I am a hearty eater, but I left a lot on my plate. Won't be going back unless they offer something better than this kind of discount...
