Lula Cafe's Halloween Costume Revealed

As always, the TOC Blog has the scoop on Lula Cafe's annual Halloween costume as another restaurant.

TOC has part of this year's menu posted, if you're interested in how Iron and Wine translates to a burger, or what Tim Kinsella wants on his tribute sandwich.

Luma's Corner will be one-night only, Saturday, October 30 (leaving your actual Halloween free for recovery or trick or treating). Be sure to arrive early and be prepared to wait. Costumes are totally, totally acceptable. Rock on!
