Calling all Mikes: Firehouse Subs wants to buy you lunch

Listen up, Denver! If your name is Mike, put down that sad desk salad and listen close.

Firehouse Subs is currently running a promotion that feels like a personal favor to anyone named Mike. In honor of the company’s president—and, let’s be real, a very thinly veiled jab at a certain sandwich competitor whose name rhymes with “Sub-way”—they are giving away a free medium Steak and Cheese melt to anyone who can prove their name is Mike.

Look, I’m a mom of two little girls, and my calendar is usually packed with play dates and hunting down lost sneakers. If someone offered me a free lunch just for existing, I’d be there in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, my name isn’t Mike, and I’m pretty sure my kids aren’t going to let me forge a driver’s license.

To get your free meal, just head into your local Firehouse Subs and show them your photo ID. It’s that simple.

Is it a little petty to name-drop a rival like this? Maybe. But is it a delicious way to spend a Tuesday? Absolutely.

So, grab your ID, Mikes of Colorado. You’ve earned this steak and cheese. And for the rest of us? Well, I guess we’ll just have to keep dreaming of free sandwiches while we figure out what’s for dinner tonight.
