Well, the folks at KFC apparently haven't had enough bad publicity lately, so today (October 26) they're attempting to give away free chicken...again.
The caveats:
Me? I had a late lunch over at Ontario Mills, but thanks!
The caveats:
- One free piece per customer (duh!).
- The offer is only available at participating locations (ditto!).
- The offer applies to grilled chicken only.
- The free piece is the manager's choice and may vary by location.

Gyu-Kaku, the Japanese barbecue restaurant where you cook your own food at your table, is again featuring an all-night happy hour, starting at 8:30pm to last call!
That means 99-cent draft beer, 50% off all appetizers, and $2.95 BBQ items. A minimum purchase of $10 is required, but with Harami Miso and Kalbi Garlic tantalizing your tastebuds, I think you'll find that more than easy enough to meet. More details can be found in their monthly specials.
Note: The Kalbi Garlic is very, very good.
Gyu-Kaku is conveniently located in Victoria Gardens on 7893 Monet Ave. in Rancho Cucamonga.

... and Daves and Davys.
Famous Dave's, the barbecue eatery on 11470 Fourth St. in Rancho Cucamonga, is marking the chain's 15th anniversary this Monday (August 31 — the Redlands location is also participating Monday) by giving special treatment for anyone named David, Dave or Davy. Dudes with this special name will get a free entree with a maximum value of $15. Guys with those names as their middle names will get entrees half off.
For everyone else, there's the "buck-a-bone" special, which is St. Louis-style ribs for $1 per bone with any entree purchase. There's also $3 draft domestic beers Monday through Thursday. These specials are good 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
The restaurant opened its first location in Hayward, Wisc. in 1994 and opened in Rancho last summer. There are now 175 locations across the country.

Well, it appears that food critic/radio show host Allen Borgen and Dine 909 have something in common...our love for Mill Creek Cattle Company in Redlands.
Allen's review hits the pages of the Sun and the Daily Bulletin today, and he gives it an astounding 4½ stars out of 5.
Wow! I think he liked it even more than we did.
I've been back to Mill Creek several times since I did my initial review, and have had a great experience each time.
I've tried a couple of their sandwiches, one of their breakfast burritos and, out of curiosity, their chili cheese fries.
All good. All filling.
I really appreciate restaurants that serve breakfast all day, and Mill Creek is one of those.
If you like BBQ, do yourself a favor and check them out if you haven't already done so.
If you, like me, are not a huge BBQ fan, don't despair, they have plenty of other treats there as well.

Not to be forgotten, also appearing in today's Sun and Bulletin is Elaine Lehman's review of Rancho Cucamonga's Stuft Pizza Cafe.
Elaine tried an 8-inch sub filled with cheese, veggies and Italian meats, along with a salad and a soda, all for only $6.25. Sounds like a really good deal and a great alternative to Subway/Togo's/Quiznos.

Monday will bring us a new barbecue restaurant in Rancho Cucamonga: Joey's. This joint already has locations in Pomona, Upland and Chino. It'll be the fifth eatery dedicated to barbecue, following Red Hill, Lucille's, Dickey's and Famous Dave's. (Am I missing any?)Five barbecue restaurants, with three new ones in the last year ... that's impressive. It's like the new frozen yogurt.
Joey's, on Foothill Boulevard near Klusman, sits on what I believe to be a stretch with the best restaurants in the city. Victoria Gardens fans might vehemently object, but Route 66 between Vineyard and Archibald is home to some pretty awesome restaurants, especially if you're like me, constantly hungry and poor. Coffee Klatch, In & Out, Pho Ha, Taco Hut, The Deli and Felipe's are all outstanding. Maybe Joey's can soon join that list.
In a somewhat schizophrenic event, Dickey's Barbecue Pit at 9670 Haven Avenue in Rancho Cucamonga, is hosting an Ontario Reign night this Wednesday (May 20), beginning at 6 p.m.
Fans will receive 15% off all food and kids 12 and under will eat free during the event.
Beer will be $2.75.
They also will have an ice cream eating contest, with the winner taking home a limited edition Reign affiliate jersey.
I'm getting an ice cream headache just thinking about that.
The evening will culminate with a question and answer session with Reign head coach Karl Taylor.
Still not getting the whole ice cream-barbecue-hockey connection, but it should be a fun event nevertheless.

It's Friday, and you know what that means...
Elaine Lehman stayed close to home base this week and went to Giuseppe's on Euclid in Upland.
Giuseppe's is unique in that they offer both Italian and Persian cuisines.
Elaine went out of her sphere of familiarity and opted for Persian.
She ordered the Koobideh kabob special and liked it.
So next time you're in the mood for a little hummus with your ravioli, you know where to go.

Allan Borgen mixes things up this week and discusses the breakfast items available at Buckboard Barbecue and Grill, also in Upland, on Foothill Boulevard.
I've heard Allan talk about Buckboard before, and if I remember correctly, he's even broadcast his radio show from there.
So it's no surprise that he enjoyed their breakfast offerings, giving them them four of five stars.
If you're thinking of heading over there to check out their breakfasts for yourself, you might just want to click here first.
