From Nando’s:
“Nando’s Gives Away Their Signature Chicken to Federal Workers (Threatened, Fired, and Otherwise) at All DC-Area Restaurants on Friday, National Employee Appreciation Day
In celebration of National Employee Appreciation Day (that’s a thing), Nando’s PERi-PERi will feed federal workers for free on Friday March 7th. No proof-of-life emails required.
In a nod to the unappreciated federal workforce, all current and recently laid off federal workers in DC, Maryland, and Virginia can dash to Nando’s for a free quarter-chicken and chips (fries) from 2pm to 5pm Friday.
“We hope all federal workers in the DMV celebrate National Employee Appreciation Day with Nando’s on Friday, and enjoy our free flame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken. This is our way of saying thanks to the folks who care for our veterans, keep planes safe in the skies, and do so many other unheralded jobs for the American people,” Nando’s said in a statement.
The Fine Print:
Receive one free ¼ chicken (leg or breast) and regular side of chips for free with proof of federal employment, current or past within the last 6 months. Valid only on Friday March 7th, from 2 pm to 5 pm EST, at DMV-area Nando’s restaurants only (excluding Virginia Beach). This is a Nando’s “Dash,” so it’s one per guest while supplies last. Cannot be combined with any other offer. No substitutions. Dine-in and take-out only.
Nando’s PERi-PERi:
After making its 1987 debut in Johannesburg, South Africa, Nando’s has spread its flame to legions of fans in 24 countries on five continents who can’t resist the allure of succulent PERi-PERi chicken that’s been marinated for 24 hours, flame-grilled to perfection, and basted to their preferred flavor and spice. The restaurant is equally renowned for its spicy PERi-PERi – the Bird’s Eye Chilli Pepper that indigenous Africans introduced to the Portuguese centuries ago.
Nando’s PERi-PERi entered the US market in 2008 with the opening of its first location in Washington, D.C., and now operates nearly 50 restaurants in and around Virginia, Maryland, Washington, Chicago, Texas, and Atlanta”
