Thai Chili 2go

Saturday, Nov. 7 is National Pad Thai Day! In celebration of this observance and the dish itself, which happens to be Thai Chili 2go’s best-selling menu item (with 197,000 bowls sold annually!), the brand is launching a special week-long campaign that honors Pad Thai, engages social media enthusiasts and gives back to the community!

On Saturday, Oct. 31 TC2GO’s “Pull it Forward” social media campaign begins, which invites Pad Thai lovers to post a reel or a photo featuring their TC2GO Pad Thai bowl in the name of a good cause. For every qualifying entry, TC2GO will donate a meal to St. Vincent de Paul.

Here are the details:
<ul><li>Post a reel or photo on social media featuring a TC2GO Pad Thai dish.</li><li>Tag @eattc2go and include #TC2GOPullItForward in the post or reel.</li><li>Tag two friends and encourage them to “pull it forward” with posts of their own.</li><li>Have fun with it! Content prompts include the best noodle pull, most creative place to post the TC2GO signature red bowl, or a funny, first-bite reaction or reel starring the TC2GO Pad Thai bowl.</li></ul>
One guest will win free Pad Thai for a year (one free Pad Thai entrée per month for 12 months). All who post and follow these prompts from Saturday, Oct. 31 through Saturday, Nov. 7 will be entered to win. The winner will be announced the following week, and TC2GO will share an update on its community meal donation.

Thai Chili 2go fans are encouraged to “share your bowl, tag your people and help feed our community” through the spirit of “nam jai” in honor of National Pad Thai Day!

In further celebration of National Pad Thai Day, TC2GO rewards members can earn a free Pad Thai bowl when they purchase one through the app on Saturday, Nov. 7.
