Eat:
The adult version of the classic “Happy Meal” is back at Del Frisco’s for fall.  Burgers and Brews Combo ($17.50) includes the Grille’s Prime Cheeseburger, double patty burger, topped with cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles and sloppy joe sauce on a brioche bun. The burger is accompanied by your choice of fries, Original, Sea Salt or Sweet Potato Frites. A craft beer will replace the milkshake, which includes Yuengling, Harpoon IPA, Harpoon Seasonal, and Sam Seasonal. Yum!

Drink:
One glass or bottle of ONEHOPE Wine goes a long way in the fight against breast cancer.  Stephi’s in Southie (130 Dorchester Ave.) is offering ONEHOPE Wine during the month of October.  Enjoy a chilled glass ($9) or a bottle ($36) and half of the profits will go to The Gateway for Cancer Research which provides clinical trials to treat and cure breast cancer.  We’ll drink to that!
