Very Important Free Food News

Free fries at Fish Fry! Try saying that five times fast. Head over there tonight from 5-7 p.m. to pick up your complimentary fry boat. Our good friends at CHS report that this giveaway springs from a change in Pike Street Fish Fry ownership from Michael Hebb (nee Hebberoy) to Michael Yuasa. They also say that tonight you can get Fat Tire and Blue Paddle beers for $2.

In other VERY IMPORTANT food news, free chicken at KFC Monday!

The Kentucky Grilled Chicken train rolls on Monday, when you can get a free piece of chicken at any KFC location. Apparently KFC is lobbying the United Nations for a seat, because sixty million people have tried their grilled chicken and that somehow represents a country? And because an international obesity-causing conglomerate should definitely be taking up the UN's precious time with a poultry-related publicity stunt? Um, no. But don't take my word for it; check out the press release below.

Yesterday, KFC issued a letter to the United Nations Secretary General requesting that Grilled Nation “earn a seat” at the international organization’s table. KFC’s “Grilled Nation,” the 60 million-plus people who have tried Kentucky Grilled Chicken, has a population that is the equivalent to that of the 24th largest country in the world and represents nearly 1 percent of the world’s population.

To expand the population of Grilled Nation, the world renowned KFC Colonel is sampling new KGC for all UN employees and visitors on First Avenue, directly across from the UN and asking them to “UNThink” their typical lunchtime routine.

For those that are not employees or visitors at the United Nations on Thursday, KFCs from coast to coast are giving away FREE KENTUCKY GRILLED CHICKEN FOR AMERICA with Grilled Nation’s unofficial holiday, “UNFry Day,” on Monday, October 26.  Potential Grilled Nation citizens are encouraged to stop by KFC throughout the day on Monday, Oct. 26, and receive a FREE piece of Kentucky Grilled Chicken.
