Moby Dick is offering free lunch sandwiches to federal employees every weekday from 11am-2pm. The local chain has Montgomery County locations in Bethesda, Burtons, Gaithersburg, Germantown, Olney, Potomac, Rockville, and Wheaton.
“Stop by any Moby Dick location between 11 AM–2 PM, show your federal ID to the cashier, and enjoy a free sandwich of your choice on the house.”
Founder Mike Daryoush emigrated to the United States from Iran in 1975. He opened a small sandwich shop in 1987 in Bethesda, Maryland, serving a few Middle Eastern dishes. He changed to a Persian menu and added a clay oven in 1989. The name references one of the biggest kabob joints in Tehran, which was right near the American Embassy during the Shah’s time. It was called Moby Dick, apparently because the owner really liked the book. Daryoush passed away on May 9, 2019, only a week after the chain’s 30th anniversary.
“From our slow-braised stews to our flame-grilled Persian kabobs, fresh pita, and attentive customer service, Moby Dick House of Kabob is based on quality, taste, reputation, and relationships.”
