​Gear up urban warriors, the next freebie challenge is on with free orders of onion rings from Miami-based Burger King this weekend, February 4 and 5.

Unlike BK's recent French fry giveaway, the best part of this new promotion--other than the free grub--is that it lasts the entire weekend, so theoretically you can survive on nothing but free Burger King onion rings for two whole days (who says you can't?).

Hogzilla's Inspired Barbeque

​Hogzilla's Inspired Barbeque wants to feed you, South Beach, so tonight at its grand opening party, the chow is on the house. From to 7 to 11 p.m. guests can enjoy bites and signature cocktails with just a simple RSVP to info@hogzillas.com.

The man behind the restaurant is Ron Garcia (formerly of SushiSamba Dromo and Burger & Beer Joint), who, along with local barbecue guru Raul Rodriguez and executive chef Eli Jackson, is bringing smoky-flavored comfort food to Miami Beach. But Garcia admits that unlike his previous stints, the barbecue fare might be more challenging due to different styles and preferences.

"People seem to have different levels of acceptance when it comes to burgers," Garcia tells Short Order. "People would never compare their favorite burger to McDonald's. But when it comes to barbecue, you are bordering on the lines of a religion. They get fiery about it the same way they would about a sports team. You are dealing with different camps and regions."

​Times are tough, so many people are searching for hotels with free continental breakfasts. 

Problem is, some of those eating aren't guests, says Hampton Inn, says manager front desk clerk Alfonso Tobenas. That's right. Folks walk into tourist hotels and pose as guests to gain access to morning chow. Who would do such a thing? Lots of people, according to local hotel insiders.

AeroShot

It's Chapstick! It's a lighter! No, it's caffeine in an inhaler!

​You want to get that instant high anytime, anywhere? AeroShots are in the "pre-launch" phase right now and will hit the ground running, on college campuses in New York City and Boston, in early 2012. They are about the size of your Burt's Bees lip balm, but come in a sleek, grey plastic tube. You can get your free shot by reading this blog and following the instructions below.

AeroShot Pure Energy is an airborne hit of 100mg of caffeine (about as much as a cup of coffee) mixed with B vitamins. It's a powder that is quickly absorbed in your mouth as you open the tube and inhale (insert drug related inhaling joke here). "It's small, light, fast-acting and, unlike liquids, it can truly go anywhere regardless of heat, cold, or TSA regulations," claims the website.

Choices co-owner Alex Cuevas

​So Choices Vegan Café actually opened its doors in September, in the same quiet yet convenient off-Brickell spot where Om Garden used to cater to local veg heads.

Since then, brothers Alex and Jorge Cuevas have been tinkering with recipes, taking customer feedback, and testing out themed events. They're now ready for all of Miami to take a bite of their taste-tested menu.

This Saturday, they'll throw the equivalent of a hippie debutante ball: a roving grand-opening party of eats, treats, music, fire dancing, trivia, and prizes, along with their neighbors and partners in spiritual wellness: Brickell Hot Yoga and One World Lifestyle (349 SW 12th St., Miami), an Eastern imports company. The three businesses have formed an alliance they've dubbed the "Holistic Triangle" of the Brickell area.

Beginning at 7 p.m., Choices will supply guests with a complimentary sampling of innovative vegan cuisine, including tapas, health-infused smoothies, and organic green juices for taste bud enlightenment.

Around 8:30, the party will migrate to the garden at neighboring, soon-to-open One World Lifestyle, an Eastern religious imports store, where owners Paula Lancaster and David Maseda will host a drum circle and fire-dancing show. Guests will be invited to partake of tea and tasty vegan snacks.
