Free Dinner for Leap Year Babies
who have not celebrated for four Yearsedited by Madelyn Miller, the TravelLady  Morton’s The Steakhouse is celebrating Leap Year and those born on February 29, referred to as “leaplings,” by offering a free steak and seafood dinner to people with this special birthday on Leap Day, Friday, February 29, 2008. Morton’s Dallas restaurant is offering a free, birthday dinner to “leaplings” who make advance reservations to dine in the restaurant on their birthday.
 The free, birthday dinner consists of a single-cut filet; choice of Morton’s jumbo lump crab cake,  shrimp Alexander, or broiled sea scallops; choice of Caesar salad or Morton’s salad with blue cheese dressing, chopped egg and anchovies; choice of Morton’s Legendary Hot Chocolate (Birthday) Cake or key lime pie; and a complimentary glass of champagne for “leaplings” at least five and one-quarter years old (otherwise known as 21 and older). Complimentary valet parking will also be also provided for the birthday celebrants.
The Morton Chocolate Cake is worth celebrating in itself. http://www.travellady.com/Issues/January06/3017ChocolateCakeCocktail.htm  But warning--do not try to toast yourself and make up for lost time by eating four pieces of this decadent dessert
February 29 Might Only Come Once Every Four Years, but Morton’s Dallas Restaurant is Helping Those with this Special Leap Day Birthday Morton’s is asking that all “leaplings” show proof of date of birth (valid I.D.), as well as make advance reservations. Morton’s reserves the right to limit the number of free birthday dinners. To make reservations, please call 214-741-2277 and specify “Leap Year Birthday.” James McCabe, General Manager at Morton’s in Dallas, said, “With Leap Year only coming once every four years, we wanted to do something special to highlight those with this unique birthday who can’t celebrate on their actual birthday each year. What could be a better birthday present than a free dinner at Morton’s?” In addition, from now until June 30, 2008, select Morton’s locations, including Dallas, are offering the special steak and seafood dinner for two. For only $99, the dinner includes two single-cut filets; choice of two seafood options, Morton’s jumbo lump crab cake, shrimp Alexander, or broiled sea scallops; choice of two salads, Caesar salad or Morton’s salad with blue cheese dressing, chopped egg and anchovies; and choice of two desserts, Morton’s Legendary Hot Chocolate Cake or Key Lime Pie.
