Tampa tailgates will look a bit different this year, so local Tampa area Wendy’s restaurants are giving University of South Florida fans a reason to celebrate with Wendy’s breakfast. Students and Bulls fans alike can get a free craveable Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit with purchase on every University of South Florida football game day (Friday or Saturday pending season schedule) upon request, starting this Saturday, September 12. When fans make any breakfast purchase on game day via drive thru or in-restaurant, they can request a free Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit.

Wendy’s is not only fueling fans’ game day this fall. Restaurants in Tampa rolled out Meals for Educators, a program to support Dave Thomas’ vision of “Give Something Back.” To kick off the school year, local Tampa area Wendy’s restaurants provided over 5,500 educators in the area with free Wendy’s breakfast combos, coupons and coffee key tags good for a free hot coffee with purchase through the end of the year to fuel their morning. After all, they deserve way more than an apple.

“Giving back to the communities we serve is a core belief at Wendy’s and we’re excited many of our Tampa-area restaurants participated in the Meals for Educators program,” says Kevin Zarcone, Director of Area Operations, The Wendy’s Company. “We know teachers are facing many challenges this year, and we wanted to express our appreciation the best way we know how, with a high-quality and delicious breakfast.”

Wendy’s selection of irresistible, bold new morning items features fresh, hand-cracked egg on every sandwich* and savory, Applewood smoked bacon baked in our ovens each morning. The menu gives a “morning twist” to some of Wendy’s favorite menu items, including:

Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit: A fresh-baked buttermilk biscuit topped with crispy all-white meat chicken breast with whipped honey butter.  A sweet and savory combo to start your day.

Breakfast Baconator: A combination of a fresh-cracked egg, six strips of Applewood smoked bacon, one square breakfast sausage patty and two slices of American cheese all topped with a swiss cheese sauce between two premium buns.

Frosty-ccino: Cold brew coffee with your favorite chocolate or vanilla Frosty creamer, served over ice. A perfect pick-me-up to start your morning.
