Got a January jones for hearty fare at half price?

 

The only warm things about January are the feelings thousands of men have for Mad Men hottie, January Jones, and lingering affection for Capricorn, Elvis Presley, (with whom I share a January 8^th b-day).

Since the month of January is named for Janus, the god of the doorway, you know you have to walk through yours and get out of the house. You know what happened to dear old Elvis when he became a Graceland hermit and supped on bowls on bacon atop the piano, right?

Greektown eatery, Venus Greek-Cypriot Cuisine, offers powerful incentive to get out during the coldest month of the year with a deal of 50% off Signature entrees all month long.

Choose among more than a dozen delicious varieties of Greek and Cypriot-inspired dishes. In the Greek category, you’ll find hearty items like pastitsio - baked layers of pasta and ground beef crowned with béchamel sauce and mousaka Tsoukas, individually baked layers of eggplant, zucchini, potatoes and ground beef, topped with creamy béchamel sauce.

For the uninitiated, Cypriot fare bears influences of Middle Eastern, French, Italian and British foods. Enjoy half-off Cypriot specialties like Kleftiko (foil-wrapped lamb that’s baked for six hours) and Afelia - pork marinated in red wine and served with cracked wheat pilaf.

Venus supplies plenty of options for vegetarians and a sizeable gluten-free menu, too.

Entrées that normally range from $10.95 to $18.95, cost between $5.48 and $9.48 during the January promotion. Dinner at Venus should warm your soul while keeping the wallet chilled.
