FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. \u2014 A local Flanigan\u2019s Seafood Bar and Grill gave one lucky customer a generous gift for his consistency and dedication to the restaurant.<\/p>\n
If you happen to be at the Fort Lauderdale Flanigan\u2019s late at night, you may have seen Tyler at his regular time, picking up his order like he does every single day.<\/p>\n
Everyone has their favorite food spot they love to go to regularly, but Tyler has taken his go-to to the next level.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had this fantastic to-go customer that I found out yesterday, while I was in the office, that is kind of unique in that he has ordered 257 times in the last eight or nine months. And he orders at the same time, and orders the same thing,\u201d Jimmy Flanigan said. <\/p>\n
The Flanigan\u2019s location in Fort Lauderdale crowned Tyler their most dedicated customer for his consistent daily order of the Flanigan\u2019s burger.<\/p>\n
And Jimmy Flanigan, the CEO of the iconic, family-owned food franchise, made it his personal mission to gift Tyler a special award for his loyalty.<\/p>\n
\u201cI made an offer to him for his loyal to-go business. And it was a couple days ago, and I told him, \u2018Thank you very much, and I want to give you a $100 gift card.\u2019 And ever since I\u2019ve done that, I\u2019ve been told that I didn\u2019t give him nearly enough, and I\u2019ve been told to give him everything from free lunch for life, to a gold-plated Rolls Royce,\u201d Flanigan said. <\/p>\n
So Flanigan upped his gift to Tyler, awarding him a $1,000 gift card and some extra merchandise for his achievement.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is just mind-blowing. I was not expecting this, to be honest with you,\u201d Tyler said. \u201cI got a text message. I was expecting to meet him, but just to get the merch and this — this. You guys spoke. I appreciate everybody in the comments, and I really do thank everybody at Flanigan\u2019s. This is amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n
And if you\u2019re wondering why Flanigan\u2019s? And why the same order every day?<\/p>\n
Tyler says he wouldn\u2019t have it any other way.<\/p>\n
\u201cI like really good food and, unfortunately, when I get off after 10:30-11 o\u2019clock at night, there\u2019s not many places open,\u201d he said. \u201cBut Flanigan\u2019s has some of the best food in South Florida, so I\u2019m very thankful that they\u2019re open around the time I get out of work.\u201d<\/p>\n
And now with his new prize money, Tyler says he can\u2019t wait to keep going. And the Flanigan\u2019s staff will be waiting!<\/p>\n
The one question Flanigan had for Tyler that so many others are probably wondering was what does he do with all those iconic, green Flanigan to-go cups?<\/p>\n
Tyler says he has stored over 100 from his orders over the last few months, but he\u2019s holding out for a special gold cup — something Flanigan says he just might be able to make happen.<\/p>\n
