Quad-Cities — we want to feed someone who deserves it.

Every Friday, Chef’s Island Express is giving away FREE meals to someone in our community.

Not influencers.
Not contests.
Just real people who could use a good meal.

Maybe it’s:
❤️ a nurse finishing a long shift
❤️ a single parent having a tough week
❤️ a coworker who always helps everyone else
❤️ someone who never treats themselves

👇 Tag someone who deserves a free meal this Friday.

We’ll randomly choose one nomination each week.

Because good food tastes even better when it brings people together.

📍 Chef’s Island Express
842 Middle Rd, Bettendorf

Over the last couple of years
Chef Josh and I have worked together on some amazing projects.

For over a year now Chef Josh and the staff at the Duck Creek Location have been Rocking out the classic Zekes recipes and we would like to pass the Torch the them as they carry on the heart of Zeke’s at the Chef’s Island Express.

You can expect Chef Josh and his Culinary Crew to come up with Creative Cuisine that takes the Island
Experience to whole new level while guarding the core elements the Quad Cities has come to expect.

We are so grateful for Josh and his company for taking this opportunity to keep the island flame burning in the QC.

Thanks to all of you who have supported the Zeke’s Tribe! I know Chef Josh is in good hands with you all.
