Kokomo Cafe aka Peach Pit: Free 90210 Food Specials
In, er, celebration of its anointment as the real-life stand-in for the new West Bev High kids' hangout, Kokomo Cafe will be serving some of its Peach Pit/90210-inspired specials for free on Tuesday, September 2 (the day the teen soap opera premieres on the CW) from 2 to 4pm. Specials include: Leggo My Eggold -- a Belgium waffle with two eggs and bacon; Mr. Wilson Burger -- double beef burger with cheddar and bacon; and Nat Your Average Smoothie: made with peach ice cream, of course.
There will also be other 90210 specials available for purchase on this day. And the Peach Pit specials will run throughout the month of September.
One year ago, Congress voted to defund public media, eliminating a critical $1.7 million from our budget every year going forward. But they couldn’t silence us, and we’re not going anywhere.
