Wednesday was annual Free Cheeseburger Day at Joe’s Farm Grill. After handing out 3,100 free meals (cheeseburger, fries and beverage) last November, the Gilbert restaurant hoped to serve 4,000 diners this year.
But according to owner Joe Johnston, who spent the day chatting with those in a line (pictured above) that at times was 90 minutes long, the final total reached a whopping 5,575.
Tribune photographer Ralph Freso checked out the action (click any photo below to enlarge):

Great photos Ralph!
Stand in line and hour and a half for a free cheeseburger? You’ve got to be kidding ….. (no, pleasant conversation with other people standing in line isn’t quite enough motivation) ……..
