LOS ANGELES - Firehouse Subs is turning a common name into a golden ticket for a free meal this May – but only to people with a specific name.

What we know:

On Wednesday, May 6, anyone who shares a name with the company's president (Mike Hancock) —and a well-known rival chain—can claim a free medium Steak & Cheese Melt. 

To qualify, guests must present a valid ID at the counter showing they carry the designated name or its common variations.

The offer is strictly one per person and features the chain's new recipe consisting of flame-seared USDA Choice prime rib, provolone, and brown-sugar caramelized onions.

What they're saying:

The campaign is a point of personal pride for the brand's leadership. 

"We’re proud of this sub — the prime rib, the caramelized onions, the top-cut roll," Mike Hancock, President of Firehouse Subs, said in a press release. "Once people try it, we think it earns its place among the best steak subs out there. Sharing it with every Mike in America felt like a great way to kick things off."

What you can do:

Check your ID to see if you carry the specific name or its variations (such as the Michael or Michelle families) before the May 6 deadline.
