Get Free Fries, Ice Cream And Mac And Cheese In Bel Air

BEL AIR, MD — While some think Friday the 13th is bad luck, it's far from it if you're a fan of free food. This week, Friday happens to be National French Fry Day, which means one thing: Free fries or deals on fries at participating restaurant chains.
