Morning Buzz: A Foodie Day Planner

Let's do lunch:
On Memorial Day, what better way to remember, um, stuff, than by getting all sticky-faced on a local classic? Food critic Meredith Brody advises revisiting the honey-dipped fried chicken with mashed potatoes and spinach at Pork Store Café (1451 Haight at Ashbury, 864-6981) or Pork Store Café Valencia (3122 16th St. at Valencia, 626-5523).

Drink therapy:
The place that launched the mixology craze locally shaves a buck off domestic beers and well drinks (but not specialty libations) during happy hour. Our strategy? Start out fancy, switch to budget when blurry. The Orbit Room (1900 Market at Guerrero, 252-9525), 2-6 p.m.

Can't guarantee there'll be Premier League footy on the telly tonight, but happy-hour specials just might bring out the hooligan in you anyway: Danny Coyle's (668 Haight at Pierce, 558-8375), 2-7 p.m.
