60% Off Canyons Burger Company

Deal Closed 11:59pm 03.16.10

Deal: Get a $25 value for only $10 at Canyons Burger Company. That’s 60% off a great burger and an active Atlanta lifestyle! 

Bonus: Get a FREE 12-ounce S'mores milkshake on your second visit (with the purchase of any burger combo) OR $20 toward a catering purchase when 75 Threaders buy this Deal.

After a day spent outdoors doing what you love, there’s nothing more satisfying than a juicy, made-to-order cheeseburger. And the crew at Canyons Burger Company knows that’s true from personal experience. The Atlanta-based restaurant chain specializes in scrumptious burgers, with a side of the active lifestyle for a unique twist on the traditional burger joint.  

Canyons goes above and beyond other local burger establishments by serving high-quality, made-to-order food. Choose from the innumerable toppings and sauces to make your own, or try one of Canyons’ eclectic burger menu offerings, including the Red Smoke Burger which is topped with hickory smoked bacon, cheddar cheese and grilled onions; the Blue Bayou burger which is topped with blackened seasonings and blue cheese crumbles; and a fresh ground Turkey Burger, smothered in Swiss cheese. Canyons also offers a chicken breast alternative to each of the burgers.

While the burgers at Canyons are incredible—not to mention made from 100 percent fresh, never frozen Black Angus beef—the diverse menu includes delectable offerings for every palette. The premium white meat chicken tenders are marinated overnight before being lightly hand-breaded and fried (or grilled) to order. And vegetarians needn’t feel left out. A delicious black bean burger topped with chipotle mayonnaise and a Portabella Burger (a marinated mushroom cap topped with provolone cheese) make meat-free dining manageable and oh-so-tasty. Mouthwatering salads round out the list of delicious dishes.

58% Off Drew Lewis

Deal Closed 11:59pm 03.14.10

DEAL: Get a $60 value for only $25 at Midtown’s NYC-inspired men’s boutique, Drew Lewis.

BONUS: When 50 people take advantage of this fabulous deal, everyone also will receive $25 toward a wallet purchase or $50 toward a bag purchase.

When it comes to super chic duds for dudes, nobody does it better than Drew Lewis. The upscale men’s boutique is Atlanta’s beacon for the bespoke. Owners Seth Kloss and David Gore have gone to great lengths to fill what they saw as a fashion void when they opened the shop in 2008. The two NYC transplants (Gore, a former Abercrombie and Hugo Boss window dresser, and Kloss, a former event coordinator) have their own chic-meets-classic style and wanted to share that same aesthetic with Atlanta shoppers.  

“We’re here to dress the casual guy that wants to feel good and look good,” says Kloss. “It’s all about that New York style.”

And their new space in Midtown’s Metropolis Building fits that bill, too. The dark grey, exposed brick walls feel very NYC. And with plush leather chairs, a fireplace and a fully stocked bar (which Kloss jokes is a “gift with purchase”), the boutique has all the style of New York with all the southern comforts to which Atlantans are accustomed. The store is even dog friendly, so your style savvy pooch can get in on the fun.  

But it all comes down to the clothing and accessories at Drew Lewis. Oozing with laid-back style, the new spring offerings evoke the spirit of a New Yorker on vacation in Miami. Always ahead of the fashion curve, Drew Lewis offers hard-to-find brands such as Rag & Bone, Grant Rugger, Company of We and Hickey. As for accessories, the back wall is outfitted with pegs, hanging from which are a decadent variety of incredible (and—don’t worry, guys—functional) Jack Spade bags.

66% Off Dad's Garage

Deal Closed 11:59pm 03.11.10

DEAL: $15 gets you a $44 value good toward a pair of tickets to any Dad’s Garage show (up to $44 value). That’s 66% off at an Atlanta comedy institution!

BONUS: Get a FREE admission for any improv show on a Wednesday or Thursday when 75 people purchase this deal.

Where can you go in Atlanta for raucous, laugh out loud good times? Since 1995, Dad’s Garage Theatre Company has had crowds rolling in the aisles at their Inman Park location.  

The troupe at Dad’s Garage is perhaps best known for its year-round weekend improv shows (Thursday, Friday and Saturday), which garner audience participation and huge laughs. But the Dad’s crew also puts high priority on creating new theatrical work. “Virtually all the work here is created by one of the ensemble members or by one of our upcoming playwright buddies who are doing really cool work that we feel needs to be seen,” says Dad’s cast member Linnea Frye. 

Most of the shows (improv, theatrical or otherwise) at Dad’s Garage are comedies featuring the 14 member artistic ensemble. Case in point: the upcoming Clash Titan Clash! adult puppet show directed by Jason vonHinezmeyer and written by long-time Dad’s troupe member, puppet director and all-around funny man Lucky Yates. Clash Titan Clash! is a puppet version of the 1981 Harry Housen Clash of the Titans film, which features the Greek myth of Perseus cutting off the head of Medusa. MDT Hint: Look out for all your favorite Clash of the Titans characters to appear in the Dad’s Garage adaptation, including medusa, the kraken and, of course, the much beloved robot owl!
