Where to Find Free Burgers and Buffalo Wings Tomorrow

Back in December, Fatburger quietly opened up a collaboration with Buffalo's Cafe on Santa Monica Blvd. and Sepulveda. To toast their official grand opening tomorrow, they'll be dishing out free burgs and wangs.
In a move similar to that of a Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell (see below), you can order from either restaurant's menu at this new purveyor of enticing junk foods.
Buffalo's Cafe is actually based in Georgia, but they are serving one of our favorite Tex Mex treats these days: melty, ooey gooey queso verde. Their wings are served both boneless and boned, coming in a range of heat from "mild" to "Death Valley," and including sauces like coconut jerk, sweet bourbon barbecue and sweet teriyaki. And for fans of the fried County Fair food, there's also deep fried cheesecake to look forward to. (Good luck trying to finish any of that after completing the Triple King challenge.)
The freebies will be given away from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesday, and will include one small Fatburger and 2 buffalo wings to any customers that stops by.
