"For generations, Shoney's always has been a 'Welcome Home' sign to America's military," said Davoudpour. "On their national day of celebration and honor, Shoney's looks forward to welcoming our veterans and troops with a free burger as we thank those who protect our very freedom. We salute you."

According to Davoudpour, service members will be treated to Shoney's Signature favorite All-American Burger, a freshly prepared, hand-pattied, grain-fed, 100% ground beef, cooked to order burger, served on a toasted corn-dusted bun with lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, pickles and mayonnaise.

"It's named after the greatest country on earth," said Davoudpour, "and has been a guest favorite for years."

Since acquiring the great American eatery in 2007, Davoudpour has been on a spirited mission to make Shoney's better than ever, and return the icon to its Glory Days, when it became part of American popular culture as one of the first family casual dining concepts in the United States. Shoney's served as a popular post-WWII family destination when it began serving guests 66 years ago. Davoudpour personally sees that an American flag flies proudly in front of his Shoney's restaurants.

"Veterans Day is a day of thanks and for us, being able to serve the many who serve for our freedom is a privilege," added Davoudpour. "We are thankful every day for our veterans and troops, and on their day we look forward to serving them a free burger."

Shoney's offer of a free All-American Burger to veterans and active duty military service members is available on Monday, November 11, 2013 at participating restaurants while supplies last. There is a limit of one per day per military service member and the offer is not valid in conjunction with any other offers. Shoney's military guests will need to provide proof of military service. Offer is valid for Dine-in only and beverage, tax and gratuity are not included.
