The latest outlet of Señor Chicken opened about two months ago in a sterile, high-ceiling space in Columbia Heights, an environment far removed from the smoky little dens of Northern Virginia. Best I could tell, this Peruvian chicken parlor was run by a lone señor, who fetched my order of pollo a la brasa from a holding unit that (I swear!) looked like a plastic trash can.

I could have ordered a number of other items at Señor Chicken since its menu ranges deeper and wider than your typical rotisserie chicken outlet. There are gyros (including a chicken version), a steak and cheese sandwich, grilled steaks (including something called marucha, which is top round with a white-wine sauce), and mixed grill salads.

There seems to be a difference in the way Nando’s markets itself in the states vs. Down Under, where this commercial aired. Is it because America’s more uptight about sex…or we have better taste?

Y&H will happily play the corporate shill when it comes to free food. Hey, with this economy, I’d be remiss if I didn’t tell you about an opportunity to dine for nothing.

The latest to throw sweet (spicy, actually) nothings at us is Pollo Campero, the Latin American chicken chain with the mascot who’s only too happy to have you gnaw on his leg. As part of its national roll-out for a new sandwich line,  Pollo Campero will be giving away sammies all day tomorrow, April 2. You can get either a grilled chicken sandwich (the grill products are relatively new additions, too, a smart concession to American Fattyism) or one loaded down with the original Fried Death Bird.

One sandwich per person. You can find the list of participating D.C. area outlets after the jump.
