If you eat, read this

Some items of interest to people who eat.

Domino’s Pizza is marking Customer Appreciation Week right now and you can get a carryout, large one-topping pie for $5.99.

They say the limit is 256 pizzas per customer, but they’re just joking. You can order as many as you want.

Meanwhile, Burger King Corp. announced this week it’s offering a 1/4-pound Double Cheeseburger for $1.

Burger King also announced it has opened its first Whopper Bar restaurant in Asia. It’s in Singapore, in case you’re in the neighborhood, and it’s part of the company’s plan to introduce its Whopper Bar concept on a global scale. Burger King CEO John Chidsey is quoted as saying the strategy is to get the brand into non-traditional locations — like stadiums, cruise ships, college campuses and casinos.

If you’re interested in cooking food as well as eating it, it’s not too early to sign up for the December cooking classes at Saratoga Restaurant Equipment Sales.

You can learn to make a number of great dishes, some of which made me hungry just reading about them.

From 6 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 16, chef Kevin Brown will teach you how to make Clam Fritters — “an airy clam batter, fresh herbs, chunks of diced clams deep fried until crispy; a perfect companion to clam chowder.” And he’ll teach you to make the chowder too — the Rhode Island version with freshly ground quahogs, diced vegetables, fresh herbs and potatoes all simmered in a naturally clear broth.

The cost of the classes is $65 There are four scheduled in December including chef Patrick Manatto’s Holiday Appetizers class on Dec. 23.

You can find out more about the classes here.
