"We're looking to fill the place like it were a Friday or Saturday night," Jeff Bush, of Big Bricks, wrote in an email to Northcenter Chamber of Commerce members. "On that note, we'd like to invite friends and fans of the restaurant to enjoy 50 percent off their total bill."
Diners should mention they were invited prior to receiving their bill.

They should arrive around 7:30 p.m., but if they wish, can stay until after filming is over. They're also asked to avoid certain clothing, for filming purposes.
"Please refrain from wearing ball caps, logos, crazy patterns, sports logos," Bush says. "These will all have to get blurred out if worn and won't look good on the TV."
The production company also asked participants to dress "season neutral."
"Long story short, please come out and have a good time and support Big Bricks," Bush said.
You'll find the restaurant in the heart of Northcenter at 3832 N. Lincoln Ave.
