About a year and a half ago, my wife and I decided to REALLY splurge and went out to dinner at the Keg restaurant near our home. The Keg has outstanding steaks and the service is great. While we were there, we noticed that they had a birthday club card to fill out. It turns out that if you fill out the card, they send you a postcard each year during the month of your birthday for a free steak and lobster dinner. This meal usually costs $28.99 but they give it to you with no strings attached.
Of course, we go together twice per year (once for her bday, and once for mine) so we end up spending about $25.00. But, for that $25.00 we get a steak and lobster dinner, another steak dinner and a couple soft drinks. That’s a great deal. Each time, we’ve gotten a babysitter and have gone there as a “date”. We always request a seat by the fireplace and the lights are low. The atmosphere is great.
So, that’s what we did for dinner tonight. I ate too much and had a great time. They’ve definitely got me hooked twice per year.
