MINNEAPOLIS, July 20, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Calling all BBQ lovin' Dave's, David's and Davy's! On Sunday, August 1, 2010, Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que Restaurants (Nasdaq:DAVE - News) are offering anyone with the first name of Dave, David or Davy a free entree (maximum value of $15) at participating locations nationwide. Anyone with the middle name of Dave, David or Davy can also join in on this special celebration by receiving one entree for half price (maximum value of $7.50).

"On Sunday August 1st, we honor all of the Dave's who have made this country great -- from Davy Crockett to David Letterman to our own great founder 'Famous Dave' Anderson," said Aric Nissen, Famous Dave's Vice President of Marketing. "If you are a Dave, David or Davy, we want to serve you BBQ for FREE! Perhaps this event will become popular enough for us to petition Congress for a national holiday!"



What started as a local event last year, the Dave's Day promotion turned into a Dave-tastic frenzy. Word spread rapidly on YouTube and other social networks, as well as by word of mouth, and the end result included thousands of Dave's, David's and Davy's enjoying award-winning BBQ for free.
