Free sandwich. Score a free half spicy Asian pork sandwich and chips at Corner Bakery through Thursday, March 5 at participating locations. This freebie requires you to give up your email address at the restaurant chain’s website, but we think a free lunch is worth it. There’s a limited number of freebies per location, so act fast.
