A&W Root Beer and Mug

A&W Restaurants is celebrating National Float Day by giving away free root beer floats with any purchase on Monday, June 20! This is their second year doing this, and there's no minimum purchase . . . an order of their smallest fries would qualify. Just stop in between 14:00 and 20:00 to get yours!

I have loved A&W since I was a kid. Their food is American food. Stop in the days before this and pick up an "oversized flyer" with five coupons for additional savings.

This man is a genius. He was the founder and CEO of Atari. The founder and CEO of Chuck E. Cheese. The. Inventor. Of. Pong!!!

Nolan Bushnell has a new idea, now.

Newsweek reports in an article titled "Playing It Again" that Bushnell is planning on starting a chain of Chuck E. Cheese-type restaurants for adults. Think Dave & Buster's, but from the guy who started it all.

Imagine a Chuck E. Cheese for grown-ups–with booze and Caesar salads instead of balloons and singing animatrons. Bushnell has built "party tables" where six customers can play each other in the same game, and tournaments where diners in any of the restaurants in the chain can compete against each other in a single contest such as Texas Hold 'Em. Bushnell says he will open the first restaurant this fall in Los Angeles.

I'm there. Too bad the closest one will probably be six hours away!
