Calling all Mikes: Firehouse Subs wants to buy you lunch

May 1, 2026, 9:15 AM

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.

Keep it locked to KOSI 101.1 for more local news you can actually use. Enjoy the lunch, guys!
