Asked

Are you up for a name change?

Local spots we’d change our name to for a lifetime of free food
NOOGAtoday | Oddstory noodles
Of course we’d change our name to Oddstory if that meant we could have an unlimited supply of noodles. | Photo by NOOGAtoday
You may have seen the news that Subway is offering a lifetime supply of free subs if you change your name to Subway. This had us thinking, which local spots would we change our names to if that meant we would receive a lifetime supply of free food?

You can just call Editor Kristen Niedlov’s, The Bitter Alibi, Two Ten Jack, or Oddstory Brewing Co. (can I get free beer + the Mongolian beef and broccoli noodles?)

Editor Haley is considering changing her name to Niedlov’s as well, or La Altena to get a lifetime supply of tacos.
