DINING: Doughnut, egg and flip-flop days

Here’s something I’m guessing you don’t know: Friday (June 3) is National Doughnut Day and — wait for it — National Egg Day. What kind of killer combination (no pun intended) is that?

At any rate, anyone who goes to an outlet of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts on Friday can get one free doughnut, no purchase necessary.

And anyone who goes to Pink Taco at the Hard Rock Hotel, 4455 Paradise Road, between 8 and 11 a.m. Friday can get a two-for-one special on the restaurant’s huevos rancheros, regularly priced at $13.99. …

June 17 is National Flip Flop Day, which wouldn’t seem to be a food-related day but is if you go to any of the 20 valley locations of Tropical Smoothie Cafe. Each shop will give a free 24-ounce Jetty Punch smoothie to the first 500 people who come in wearing flip-flop sandals.
