BOGOFilter: What restaurants in the Bay Area offer buy-one, get-one-free coupons?

We're in a recession, but I still like to eat out. One of my favorite places is Sweet Tomatoes, because they have an online club you can join where they email you buy-one-get-one-free offers (BOGO).

Usually I receive an email from them about twice a month, and I really like the convenience of the print-coupon-at-home dealio.

Are there any other restaurants that have this type of offer in the San Francisco Bay Area?

Restaurant.com offers gift certificates for restaurants at a discount -- normally $10 to buy a $25 gift cert., but sometimes (including today) they have coupon codes to get another 80% off. I got $200 worth of gift certificates the other day for $16. There are minimum purchases and automatic gratuity on the whole amount, but it's still a pretty good deal if they're restaurants you want to eat at. Plus you buy them online and print them immediately at home. I just searched for San Francisco and it looks like there are bunches of restaurants participating there.
Today's coupon code is CHEF.

Half Off Deals works for me. They don't have the convenience of print at home stuff, but it can be nice if they have certificates for places you like or places you've wanted to try. Reasonable, with good customer service. I've used them a number of times.

Rubios sends you a here's-a-free-meal coupon on your birthday if you sign up with their online club, although the cost is that they spam you every 2 weeks for the rest of the year with "try our great new recipe X!" and "try our catering service!" non-offers.

Many of the other casual-dining chains do similar "happy birthday" coupons; in retrospect it would have been better to sign up with staggered fake birthdays.

I like the fatwallet site, it looks like a busy forum and there are a variety of coupon offers there, including BOGO offers.

Thanks everyone.
