Normally, we post our Sprinkle’s free cupcakes of the day offers on our Twitter and Facebook accounts. These offers usually have limits for the first 10 to 50 people (depends on the day) along with varying flavors.

Today is a special offer for the Scottsdale Sprinkle’s location. Anyone dressed up in Arizona Cardinals gear will get a free Red Velvet Cupcake! There is no limit (well, it’s one per person…but no limits as to how many people can come in to get the offer) so come before, during, or after the game and pick up your cupcake!

You don’t have to be dressed head to toe in Cardinals gear but as long as you have a jersey, shirt, hat, or even your face painted, you can get a free cupcake!

Sprinkle’s is located on the Northeast corner of Scottsdale Road and Camelback Road in Scottsdale.

The Address is noted below on the map:

A few months back a group of local business owners (AZ Vibe included) came together to help out a small business in Tempe called ‘Rock n Roll’ fingers (great friggin place by the way! 100% real chicken fingers) in need of business.

A networking event was planned at ‘Rock n Roll fingers’ so all got together and spread the word to everyone we knew.  As a result, some great and magical things happened. Lots of people showed up and helped, had some great food, met some great people, and spread the word about a wonderful business.

Even Fox 10 showed up and did this report on the initial event at ‘Rock n Roll Fingers’:

As a result of the ‘Rock and Roll Fingers’ success, Jimmy Davis of Bobbie’s Flowers is spearheading the effort to make events like this a monthly occurrence in the form of a Lunch and Networking event. This month, the Lunch Club will be heading to yet another local restaurant, this time in Tempe.

This is not only a way for local businesses to connect, but it’s also a way to find some really great places to eat in the area!

Here’s the info for the next ‘Lunch Club’ event:

January 12th, 2010 starting at 11:00 AM

Lobby’s Beef Burgers & Dogs 3141 S. McClintock Dr. Tempe (It’s on the NE corner of McClintock & Southern near Bashas)

Time: 11:00 – Meet & Greet 11:30 Lunch & Networking Starts

Sorry, the Cheeseburger in the photo is in no way even close to what will be served at Joe’s.

Joe’s Farm Grill out in Gilbert will be having their free Cheeseburger day today from 11-3 and from 4-8 PM.

Everyone who comes on down will get a free Cheeseburger, fries, and a soft drink.  Joe’s will also have a kids portion for all kids who come out for a free cheeseburger.

There’s plenty of parking but don’t expect to park in the main lot.  Joe’s has additional parking for all!

Just to let everyone know, Joe’s will not be serving their normal menu all day long….just free cheeseburgers.

We went to check out the Best of Phoenix A’ Fare on Saturday as this was Ear Candy’s biggest benefit of the season. This event was billed as an evening of Food, Music, Wine Tasting along with a KILLER silent auction (photos below).

We sampled some of the best food and wine that Phoenix had to offer including Udder Delights AWESOME Vanilla Cupcakes, the Tamale Store’s delicious selection of tamales (including a very tasty Blueberry and Cream Cheese dessert tamale!), to Famous Dave’s wonderful Ribs! There was literally something for everyone’s tastes and even dietary needs. To top that off, they had a great selection of (bottomless) beers and wines to compliment the wonderful array of food.

Once the sampling of food was completed, there was a really fascinating selection of silent auction items (Pictures below) that included signed guitars, U2 tickets, to even a Dinosaur gift package. Many of the items were taking on very competitive bids including two tickets to see U2.

Overall, it was a wonderful, festive, and positive night for an amazing charity in Ear Candy. If you get the chance to attend this party again for Ear Candy, DO IT!

If you would like more information on why we think Ear Candy is such a wonderful organization doing amazing work, please check out this link:
