Cast your vote on Election Day and earn freebies from Dallas restaurants

Election Day is November 3, and a number of Dallas restaurants and food companies are doing their part to reward those who vote.
Offers include free udon, free cookies, and cheap margaritas. Plus you can add your two cents on a pressing pecan issue.
American Pecan Council is hosting an election of its own where you can vote on the correct way to pronounce pecan. It it "puh-CON" or "PEA-can"? APC executive director Alex Ott sys it's an age-old debate.
"With voting top of mind, we knew it was the perfect time to re-ignite the age-old pecan pronunciation question," Ott says in a release. "Even across the 15 pecan-growing states from California to the Carolinas, growers and shellers themselves say it differently. So we're asking America to help us settle it once and for all and encourage everyone to join in on this fun, light-hearted debate."
To vote, visit PecanDebate.com, and enter for a chance to win one of 300 limited-edition pecan snacking blankets that feature the two pronunciations on opposite sides.
The American Pecan Council (APC) is a group of passionate pecan growers and shellers founded in 2016 and based in Fort Worth. Who knew!
The 15 pecan-producing states are Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Texas.
