Whoever said that nothing in life is free was clearly not thinking about birthdays<\/a>. Perhaps the most opportune time of year to use your growing age to your advantage, a person\u2019s date of birth has almost always been synonymous with some sort of birthday freebie<\/strong> at restaurants<\/a> and fast food chains<\/a> across the nation. And no matter what generation you may have been born in, or what part of the world you are from, if there\u2019s one thing that everyone can overwhelmingly relate positively to, it\u2019s free food.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Of course, free food does not always come easily. These days, when you see the words free food,<\/em> it\u2019s basically second nature to start looking for the catch, easily assuming that there are some strings attached. And while there are plenty of fantastic deals out there, \u201cfree\u201d almost always doesn\u2019t mean that anymore. Still though, birthdays seem to be the major exception to the rule, and many places will generously offer you some pretty amazing rewards just for being born.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n So given that extremely<\/em> useful information, the only logical thing you can do now is exploit it and take advantage of as many birthday freebies as you possibly can in one day. To help you do just that, we\u2019ve compiled a list of restaurants that have a little something special planned for you on your big day. Some strings may be attached, and you may need to jump through a hoop or two, but thanks to all the free food you\u2019ll rack up, it\u2019ll be pretty difficult to ruin the fun and prevent you from enjoying a birthday freebie on the best day, week, or month of the year.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n When you join the EClub<\/a>, you\u2019ll get a free freshly brewed coffee and bakery item.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Opt into the Birthday Club<\/a> and earn yourself a free scoop of ice cream on your birthday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Simply register for The Chef\u2019s Table<\/a> and receive a complimentary $30 Benihana birthday certificate during the month of your birthday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Have a Bennigan\u2019s location nearby?
