This Week Only

WFMZ (Small Town, PA) ran a story about how  Carl's Jr. wanted to name a burger after famed Hollywood director Steven Spielberg.

The chain wanted to call them "Speil-burgers".

Spielberg passed and said 'No, thank you' but WFMZ's very own meteorologist, Mark Shanaberger said he would love a restaurant make "Shanaburgers."

So, a local restaurant, Sláinte Irish Pub in Easton, heard his call, and decided to put a "Shanaberger" special on its menu for the week of April 17 through April 21.

But they didn't stop there. They also made a burger for anchors Melanie Falcon and Joy Howe. One for Jim Vaughn is coming soon.

In other words, this local bar has figured up a way to get free publicity and get on the newscast. The pub got over 5 minutes of a free commercial on the newscast. 

We're guessing that the sales department is not happy.
