This is this week? To my surprise there’s a Ruth’s Chris in my city. If this is current I’ll get some friends together to try it out. Anyone here remember the McDonalds 1984 Olympics promotion, widely heralded as the most disastrous promotion ever? I ate for free for about a month on that. Never liked McDonalds much, but I was pretty poor back then and couldn’t say no to free food.

So you’re telling me I can get a side of asparagus for only $6? How will they survive.

- @Ignorant This is so much your fault. We all planned to descend on our local RC, and now you made it not work in our towns.

I wonder what happens if they lose. Do they markup the bill by the number of points they lost?

Just read an article that says they changed the offer to limit the discount to 50%

They would have been cooler if they had honored the full 78% discount.

Or if they had not “clarified” the rule after the win. So Lame.
