Dress Like a Cow, Get a Free Meal at Chick-fil-A

Are you in the moo-d for Chick-fil-A? Dress like a cow today, July 13, and you’ll get a free meal.

Chick-fil-A is holding Cow Appreciation Day to thank its customers. If you’ve seen the restaurant’s billboards, you know that the restaurant has become famous for its “Eat Mor Chikin” campaign. 

So Chick-fil-A customers who dress “head to hoof” in cow attire will be rewarded with a free meal (breakfast, lunch or dinner) when they visit one of the 115 restaurants in the metro Atlanta area. 

At the Chamblee store, Chick-fil-A staff expect a busy day, said General Manager Mary McCullough. In past years, some customers have gone out and purchased costumes, while others made them for the event, she said.

"Usually, it's a big turnout," McCullough said. "It's fun to dress up and take the family out and get something for free. People look forward to it."

If you dress entirely in a cow costume - ears and tail included - you'll get a free meal, McCullough said. But even if you just show your spots, you'll still get a complimentary entree. So if you're feeling a little cow-ardly, try a T-shirt with spots or a cow-spotted scarf, purse, tie, hat or other accessory. Bring your calves (kids), or the whole herd (two or more).
