Quiznos Gets an Unexpected Guest

quiznos_PrimeRib.jpg
Rules for taking little kids to restaurants: Wash their hands before they eat. Don't let them bug the people at the next table. And if my child is with you, try to keep her from eating the crumbly french-fry pieces the previous guests left on the bench seat.

Oh, and watch out for the wild coyotes. Yep, one visited a Chicago Quiznos location last week, spending about forty minutes there before animal control showed up. Restaurant employees named the hungry guy Adrian, and corporate officials put on a funny spin, saying that the coyote's arrival means the chain is succeeding at expanding its customer base.

"This has never happened before," said Steve Provost, Quiznos executive vice president and chief marketing officer. "We can only think that Adrian must have been attracted to our new Prime Rib on Garlic Bread [pictured above] and its above-average portions of meat. One thing is for sure, this coyote clearly has excellent taste."

If you're gonna get animal guests, better a coyote, I suppose, than rats run amok.
