T.G.I. Friday’s App Gives You a Free Appetizer, Tips From the Bartender

According to T.G.I. Friday’s, one good app deserves another and a tip for your bartender deserves one in return.

That’s what we discovered when we downloaded the T.G.I. Friday’s app, available for iPhone and Android phones.

While the app has some standard features, like a GPS locator that tells you the closest Friday’s to wherever you are, there are some nifty features we played around with.

Here’s what we found:

Peruse the cocktail menu. The tiki torch features Avion tequila, triple sec, fresh pineapple, chipotle pineapple, fresh lime, and a sweet and spicy  salt rim. 
Your electronic barkeep gives you sage wisdom like “leave knife tricks to the pros”, and “the best pickup line is ‘hi my name is’”.
One good app deserves another. Get an instant free coupon, good for a free appetizer and just show the screen to your server.
Pay for your meal with your phone using the virtual tab. Just enter your credit card information once and pay at any Friday’s with your smart phone.

BBC Future of Food - Part 1: India

Future of Food – Part 1: India In the past year, we have seen food riots on three continents, food inflation has rocketed and experts predict that by 2050, if things don’t change, we will see mass starvation across the world. This film sees George Alagiah travel the world in search of solutions to the growing global food crisis. From the two women working to make their Yorkshire market town self-sufficient to the academic who claims it could be better for the environment to ship in lamb from New Zealand, George Alagiah meets the people who believe they know how we should feed the world as demand doubles by the middle of the century. George joins a Masai chief among the skeletons of hundreds of cattle he has lost to climate change and the English farmer who tells him why food production in the UK is also hit. He spends a day eating with a family in Cuba to find out how a future oil shock could lead to dramatic adjustments to diets. He visits the breadbasket of India to meet the farmer who now struggles to irrigate his land as water tables drop, and finds out why obesity is spiralling out of control in Mexico. Back in Britain, George investigates what is wrong with people’s diets, and discovers that the UK imports an average of 3000 liters of water per capita every day. He talks to top nutritionist Susan Jebb, DEFRA minister Hilary Benn and Nobel laureate Rajendra Pachauri to uncover what the future holds for our food. BBC Future of Food – Part 1: India
