You know I don’t do salad, but for those of you who do… Chop’t is opening a new location on Broadway btw. 41+42nd, and as a training exercise for their staff will be giving away free food today from 11:30am to 1:30pm (or until food runs out.) [NYC Recession Diary]

Here we go again… on Monday select KFC locations will be giving away free Kentucky Grilled Chicken (one piece per person.)  After the Oprah/Coupon debacle back in May, it’s kind of surprising… although one free piece of chicken per person should work a little smoother.  According to a PR representative for Riese, their Manhattan KFC [...]

Fabio from last season’s Top Chef will be at Penn Station today from 4-7pm handing out free samples of Dr. Oetker’s Ristorante frozen pizza. Freeloaders engage. Top Chef fans, do your thing. [Grub Street]
