Restaurants Offering Deals During Government Shutdown

Well, the government shut down last night after Congress was unable to come to an agreement over a funding bill. This means many people are out of work, including CDC employees and others here in Atlanta. As a result, restaurants are offering discounts to the furloughed employees; these are rounded up below. This list will be updated as needed, so do check back and leave intel in the comments or via the tipline if you know of other places running specials. Also: Know someone in Washington? Send 'em to Eater DC's extensive list of furlough deals.
