You Want Your Baby Back? ( Chili’s Contest)

11 Aug
2010


*this is a spon­sored post*

I want my baby back baby back baby back. Wasn’t that a catchy ad cam­paign? I used to walk around singing that all the time. I guess it paid off because the good peo­ple at Chili’s gave me a $50 gift card to enjoy while I was on my vaca­tion. That was a no brainer because I have always loved Chili’s.

So my fam­ily and I went with all inten­tions of spend­ing every penny of the gift card. Drinks, appe­tiz­ers and desserts. I started my meal off with their frozen Top Shelf Margarita (no salt). As a appe­tizer we had their clas­sic Nachos. My girls had the fried shrimp with fries and spicy cole slaw.

I ordered their new Guacamole Burger. We all three had desserts. My girls had their new Sweet Shots. One ordered the warm Cinnamon Roll and the other the Chocolate Fudge with a scoop of ice cream. I had the Chocolate Chip Paradise Pie® by myself (which I could only eat half of so I wasn’t a total pig).

Overall the food was good. The wait­ress was a lit­tle slow, but nice. The drink was excel­lent. The only thing is I was very unhappy withe the New Guacamole Burger. It had a sauce on it that made the bun mushy and every­thing was slid­ing off.

I had a frame of ref­er­ence because since my vaca­tion began I had already eaten two Guac burg­ers at other places. So I really couldn’t rec­om­mend it, but every­thing else was awe­some.

Okay why am I telling you all about what I ate? One because that was what they gave me the gift card to do and two because now you can win your own gift card.

Chili’s is host­ing a con­test called Shoot Out to Eat Out where they are giv­ing away one $50 gift card every day from now until August 30th. All you have to do is upload a video explain­ing why you don’t want to cook here and you’re entered.

Dinner time is approach­ing so get over there. Hope you guys win. If you do come back and tell us about it.

Thanks for read­ing,

    I like that more com­pa­nies are becom­ing inter­ac­tive w/​the casual con­sumer & spon­sor­ing con­tests like these. :) I might make a video when I get some free time.

    Chili’s used to be my lunch spot for a while when I worked at my old job; espe­cially when they had that 2 for $20 combo going on. My cousin & I fre­quented that spot a LOT, haha.

    I agree. I think it’s great for busi­ness for com­pa­nies to be more inter­ac­tive. I was already a Chili’s fan I really am now. I believe the two for twenty is back on. This con­ver­sa­tion is mak­ing me hun­gry lol.
