If there's one moral to be gleaned from The Gingerbread Man, it's that hungry foxes can always be trusted to have excellent culinary taste (also, if your body is composed of a delicious foodstuff, don't run around bragging about it). Have faith in the fable's foodie with the help of today's Groupon: for $7, you get $15 worth of home-cooked fare at The Hungry Fox Restaurant & Country Store in Poets Square.

The Hungry Fox is a cozy breakfast and lunch destination serving up an extensive menu of sweets, savories, and other sinfully succulent creature comforts. To tame an early-morning stomach's jowly mammalian growl before it turns into expletive-laden tirades about your significant other, bite into a breakfast burrito (stuffed with egg, cheese, sausage, onion, and salsa and served with hash browns, $7.89), an order of homemade biscuits and gravy ($5.79 for a full order), or a vegetable omelette (sautéed mushrooms, onions, green peppers, and tomatoes, served with taters and toast, $7.99). A homemade jumbo cinnamon roll ($2.99), a Belgian waffle ($5.29), or a healthily sugar-kissed stack of multigrain pancakes ($5.59) will satisfy the sweetest-toothed incisors. The Hungry Fox's lunch offerings include french-fry friendly foods such as the green-chili cheeseburger ($6.99) and the deli fox sandwich (hard salami, ham, turkey, lettuce, tomato, onion, and swiss cheese, $7.29), as well as healthier options such as the spinach salad (topped with egg, cheddar, bacon, black olives, tomatoes, and onions, $6.99) and the seasonally offered stuffed tomato (filled with tuna, chicken, or egg salad and served with fruit, $6.59). If it's your first time dining at The Hungry Fox and the restaurant's bounty of tasty temptations overwhelm, try a declared "foxy favorite" such as the honey-stung chicken (four pieces of golden fried chicken, whipped potatoes, gravy, and a fresh vegetable, $8.99).

The unpretentious charm and homespun flavors of The Hungry Fox will tickle the tootsies of your taste buds like playful puppy tongues before a fire. Stop by for some delectable delights Monday–Friday 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. or Saturday–Sunday 6:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.
