Field notes
The project uses large floor-standing wooden easels inside participating restaurants as its primary publishing surface, then republishes the specials through social channels, its website, and a daily email. The page shows four example deals priced from $5 to $9, including a truffle-burger combo and a curry lunch bowl. Restaurants are asked to submit monthly specials before the 25th, while non-food businesses can inquire about board advertising.
