Idaho T.G.I. Fridays has a beef with trophy thief

[April 07, 2011]  AMMON, Idaho (AP) -- A T.G.I Friday's in Idaho has a beef with whoever took its giant hamburger trophy.

The restaurant in Ammon received the trophy from Idaho Falls Magazine for having the best hamburger in the area. General Manager Tim Coleman tells KIFI-TV that the trophy disappeared two days after the staff received the award.

This is the third consecutive year the restaurant won the honor, and it's not the first time the trophy was pilfered.

Two years ago, it disappeared for six weeks, but someone left it outside the restaurant.

Coleman says he just wants the trophy back and is willing to reward whoever brings it back by serving up one of those trophy-winning hamburgers -- on the house.
