SAN ANTONIO – What would you do for free food? If the answer includes dressing up like a cow, then you’re in luck this week.

Tuesday is Cow Appreciation Day at Chick-fil-A. According to the restaurant’s website, here’s how it works:

  • Make or buy your cow costume (or any sort of cow apparel, really).
  • Wear your cow costume to your favorite Chick-fil-A between opening and 7 p.m.
  • Receive a free entree!
  • The restaurant has been holding Cow Appreciation Day for 13 years. While some people do go all-out with a full cow costume, many people decorate T-shirts or wear some kind of accessory with cow spots. Either way, it’s enough to earn you a free sandwich. Kids will receive a free kid’s meal.

    The Cow Appreciation Day celebration will last from store opening through 7 p.m.
