Famous Dave’s BBQ Celebrates
Its Founder, “Famous Dave” Anderson, and All “Famous” Daves!
“Dave’s Day” at Famous Dave’s of America (NASDAQ: DAVE) is taking place on Sunday, August 14, 2011 when all BBQ lovin’ Daves, Davids and Davys can eat
free! This is the third time Famous Dave’s of America has held this crazy event that has grown from only a
portion of the restaurants participating, to over 90% participation across the
country www.famousdaves.com
On August 14, Famous Dave’s
Bar-B-Que Restaurants in Las Vegas
and Henderson are offering anyone showing a valid ID with the first
name of Dave, David or Davy a free entrée (maximum value of $15). Anyone
showing a valid ID with the middle name of Dave, David or Davy (sorry, last
names don’t count) can also join in and receive an entrée for half price
(maximum value of $7.50). “Dave’s Day” is in honor of the Founder, “Famous
Dave” Anderson, and this one-day-only event has been brought back due to its
success in spreading the story of “Famous Dave” and generating enthusiasm among
the local communities in Las Vegas
and Henderson and the restaurant teams.
David is the 6th most popular
boy’s name in the U.S., which means many people are named Dave or have a relative or friend
named Dave, and can participate. “Our Dave’s Day celebration has spread like
wildfire on social media in anticipation for this event in our communities,”
said Bill Dworak, manager of Sonoran Barbeque Nevada, LLC. “Our restaurants observe some unusual behavior on
this special day, such as babies named Dave showing up for free BBQ, guests who
proclaim they are going to change their name to Dave, and multiple generations
of ‘Daves’ using our celebration as a celebration for their families. After
all, ‘Famous Dave’ Anderson built this company on his passion for people and the
best BBQ ever. This event gives us an opportunity to show our guests what we do
best – being Famous!”
For “famous” fans who aren’t
named Dave, the Famous Dave’s restaurants in Las Vegas and Henderson have some hog wild specials featured in their “Hog
Days of Summer,” which begins the day after Dave’s Day, on August 15. Guests
who purchase an entrée will be able to add $1 ribs and 50¢ wings to their
order during the four week promotion. “And nothing goes better with ribs and
wings than specials on tap beer,” added Dworak.
