Drewes Meats: Now With Turducken

Drewes Meats has been almost-not-quite-going-out-of-business-and-still-hanging-in-there for over 100 years on the outer corridor of Church Street. This year it is reinventing itself with... Turducken.

Via 7x7 magazine:

"Just for the holidays, they've got free range, all natural Willie Bird Turkeys at $3.09/lb, while the organic ones start at $4.29/lb, and go up to 32 lbs! Petite Diestel turkeys start at $3.09/lb, while organic ones go for $4.29/lb. Drewes Brothers also do smoked turkeys, chickens and cornish game hens, as well as house made Turducken for the first time! They've been getting more orders for Turducken than expected so call ahead and reserve one by the 22nd. They're stuffed with andouille sausage, cranberries and pinenuts, and range from $135-150. They'll also brine your birds for you, for $4.99/lb. They'll take your bird orders until the day before Thanksgiving."

Exposed: 6.7 Million CA Residents w/o Health Insurance

We set off to take pictures for a post about sidewalk landscaping and stumbled on this scene on 24th St.  Curiousity? Piqued.

Each statue was numbered (we assume there's 6,699,999 more out there crowding other neighborhood sidewalks). 

Obviously statues have children, too. How else would we have so many? 

We weren't suprised to find it's a (very clever) guerilla marketing campaign. But we were surprised to find out that it's Blue Shield pushing for change. Usually the HMOs are looking to increase the number of people they don't have to insure. But.... Well done. We'll take this kind of awareness campaign on 24th St any day.
