Despite the tragic end to the World Cup just a handful of weeks back, it looks like I have another reason to break out my beloved Oranje jersey before 2014. It turns out that Whataburger, another one of those boutique burger chains, is handing out free burgers. On August 3rd 2010, if you walk in to any Whataburger in the fast food nation, you get a free burger. Ah … but there’s a catch. You see, you have to show up between 5-8pm and you have to wear a piece of Dutch soccer paraphernalia.
Okay, I fibbed a little, you don’t actually have to wear something Dutch … just something orange. The event is a celebration of the franchise’s 60th year in biz. Those of us in the ATL can get in on the action if our heart and our gas tank so desires. With locations in Thomasville and near Savannah (x2), it looks like South Georgia is your best bet if you’re hell bent on staying inside state lines. If you don’t mind handing your tax dollars to another state, Birmingham is actually your best bet to snag one of these (mappage).

I don’t know how the heck I missed this! Domo, aka Domo-Kun, is an internet sensation and TV mascot (from Japan). In a moment of promotional awesomeness, 7-11, Dark Horse Comics, and Tokyopop got together and came up with one sweet promotion.
The group launched a plethora of Domo-branded items (including the famous Slurpee) and they are now available. The promo actually started on the 1st and runs for six-weeks. What’s even better (at least for us Domo-nerds), is that this promotion is for the upcoming Domo DVD!!! SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!
In case you haven’t seen him before, I’ve posted an awesome little video and images (via the 7-11 website) of the available items. Check them out, after the jump!

Don’t judge the importance of this post by its brevity as we have one hell of a freebee on tap for next week. Ladies and germs, mark your calendars because on Monday, September 7th, 2009 … every Chick-Fil-A will serve up one FREE original chicken sandwich to any and all customers who show up sporting sports-related apparel. If you’re not sure where the nearest CFA is … check out their restaurant locator. Alrighty then .. That’s all she wrote folks!

Who doesn’t like free stuff? I know I do. Food Arts Magazine, a publication focused on the restaurant and hotel business, is ponying up some free samples. All you have to do is fill out this form. Now mind you, this offer is only available to qualified professionals, so you may not actually get accepted even if you fill out the form. However, if you do qualify, you will be handsomely rewarded.
Amongst the many benefits, Food Arts has a good number of excellent recipes. Geared toward restaurateurs, you’ll get your fill of commercial grade equipment; however, they also touch on wine and spirits from time to time. If the offer isn’t for you, but you are still interested in the magazine, check out their website, which has a decent bit of info available for free.

To celebrate their annual customer appreciation day, Chick-Fil-A is giving away a free meal to each and every customer (sort of). All you have to do is show up dressed as a moo cow. No word on just how much effort you need to put into your outfit … but it seems to me that the cost of the meal will be less than the cost of the outfit. You can find the nearest Chick-Fil-A here.
Meanwhile, cruel parents can dress their youngins up, take a pic, and post it online. The winner of that contest gets a $1,000 Savings bond. Nice! I would gladly sacrifice my younger brother’s dignity for that; unfortunately, he’s over the age of 10

Alright ya’ll, while the emails are still coming in from last Friday’s post, I thought I’d do something a little different to get the rest of the books out the door. All you have to do here is post a comment that talks about your favorite “____” here in the ATL. Be it your favorite chef, your favorite meal, you’re favorite restaurant … I don’t care. Just make it food related and make sure to stand out. That’s it! Easy breezy… I’ll snag a few of you over the next couple of days until they’re all gone! Thanks again to Magnolia Pictures for making this possible!
Oh yeah, you’re email address isn’t displayed to anyone but me. So, use a real one; otherwise, how am I going to find you?

Now this sounds like a heck of a deal. Ladies and gents, mark your calendars. On Saturday, May 16, every Shane’s Rib Shack location (39 locations here in Georgia), is giving away a 1/2 rack of ribs, a large coke zero, and a t-shirt. The catch: you have to be one of the first 100 customers in the joint. Can anyone say… lunchtime rush? Most of them open at 11 AM each Saturday; however, each location has its own hours. To find the location nearest you, head over to Shane’s Rib Shack restaurant locator.
