Step away from the cleanse: Free food at the Veggie Grill tonight

Tonight, detoxers can put down their cayenne pepper fire water and indulge in free plant-based dinners from the Veggie Grill. As part of its "Veggie Grill Virgin Night," the restaurant will be offering anyone who brings in a newcomer a complimentary entree from 4 to 11 p.m. To get the buy-one-get-one freebie, you need to know the secret password, which is posted on Facebook and Twitter. Locations in Los Angeles, El Segundo and Irvine; see www.veggiegrill.com for locations.
