Austin Restaurants To Offer Deals During National Pi Day

AUSTIN, TEXAS — Hey, a nerd's gotta eat. In the coming days, you'll be seeing promotions from restaurants and pizza joints advertising deals on Pi Day — the March 14 observance of the eponymous mathematical concept.

Some background: Pi Day is an annual celebration of the mathematical constant π. Pi Day is observed on March 14 since 3, 1, and 4 are the first three significant digits of π. It was the U.S. House of Representatives that first supported the designation of Pi Day in 2009. So there's your explanatory paragraph for the uninitiated. Did I do that?!?!

Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen will be all in on Pi Day, offering guests who celebrate the mathematical constant π a special “Pie One, Get One” deal of the restaurant’s made-fresh-daily Homemade Chicken Pot Pie. The upshot: Guests who order a Homemade Chicken Pot Pie in-restaurant or ToGo will get a second pie free of charge to take and bake at home, no coupon necessary. And worry not, nerds: Cheddar’s will provide the baking instructions.

The Homemade Chicken Pot Pie is one of the top-selling entrees at Cheddar’s, the nerds of a cooking sort noted, lovingly assembled by hand by each restaurant’s in-house culinary team. Each pot pie features half a pound of Cheddar’s iconic chicken tenders, which are covered in a house-made cream sauce brimming with diced onions, peas and carrots. The mixture is poured into a handcrafted crust and baked until crispy and golden-brown.

But why merely imagine this creation with your beautiful minds when you can see it:

There are two Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen locations in Austin and a third in Pflugerville. The two former sites are at 4301 W. William Cannon Dr. and 13301 U.S. Highway 183 while the latter is at 15119 northbound Interstate 35.

So get out there and get your pies, nerds, and May the 4th be with you in advance!
