Seems like everyone's statements these days are peppered - to mind-numbing (and stress inducing) levels - with sour phrases like,  "...what with the economy" or "In times like these..."

So, in the spirit of everything being alright, cautious optimism and the Era of Hope -- MealChime is here to help us cross that bridge to somewhere with deals, meals and a friendly way to save at national and local restaurants!  

Channel 4's Great Day St. Louis came around to our offices to take a look at what MealChime.com is all about.

Great Day St. Louis is a great resource to our town, and we're honored that they've taken notice!

Our team is hard at work getting the MealChime blog ready for launch, and we're expanding our data into Austin, Memphis, Kansas City, Chicago and beyond!

When you visit MealChime.com, be sure to check out our new Alerts feature -- it let's MealChime do the work for you --- looking for deals and emailing you when the kind of deals you want show up!

This in-depth article in the Biz Journals about Moose's own web startup, MealChime.com, just rolled my way via google alerts this morning.

Plus, it was nice to hear from some of our advertisers, like our neighbor, Boogaloo! 

“Small-business owners are constantly looking for ways to reach potential customers, but most of them are so expensive we can’t do them,” said Charley Downs, who owns Boogaloo, Cyrano’s, Revival and two Illinois Imo’s franchises. “This takes my message to a lot more people without spending a lot.”

Meal Chime will be launching soon in Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, Memphis, Kansas City, Chicago, Denver and Austin, Texas -- so wish us luck and look out for coupons!

Joe is the restaurant critic for the Post-Dispatch.

"The database appears to be pretty clean and relatively comprehensive; I did a couple of searches near home, work and neighborhoods I know and got lots of good information."

Thanks, Joe.
