Subject: Free campus dining resource: Cook Out tray combos under $9 (2026 prices)

Hi [Editor Name],

I'm reaching out from Cook Out Menu (thecooksoutmenu.us) — an independent guide we built for students near Cook Out locations across the Southeast.

We just published a verified 2026 price guide and 12 named tray combinations (e.g., "Freshman Fifteen Milkshake Feast," "Char-Grilled Club Power Tray") with calorie estimates and side-pairing tips. Every price is tagged with a "last verified" date so readers know it's current.

Would this be useful for a short "where to eat on a budget" blurb or a link in your dining roundup? Happy to tailor a campus-specific combo list for [University Name] if helpful.

No payment needed — we just ask for a credit link if you use any of the data.

Best,

Subject: Collab idea: state-by-state Cook Out price bands for your readers

Hi [Blogger Name],

Love your recent post on [specific post topic]. We maintain Cook Out Menu (thecooksoutmenu.us), an independent site with board-verified 2026 tray prices broken down by state — including low/high/common ranges for regular trays, junior trays, and milkshakes.

We'd love to offer you an embeddable price table or a custom "best tray for [City]" snippet you can drop into a roundup. All data includes a last-verified stamp (July 31, 2026) and location-specific tax notes.

Interested in a guest-style data pull for [City/State]? No strings — just a backlink if you find it useful for your audience.

Cheers,

Highlights your sub might find useful:
• State-by-state tray price ranges (NC through MD)
• 12 named combo builds with calories and estimated totals

Happy to answer questions in-thread if anyone posts it. Let us know if you'd like a sticky-friendly summary formatted for Reddit markdown.

Thanks for keeping [subreddit] useful!

Subject: Kid-friendly Cook Out tray guide (Jr. Tray combos + calorie counts)

Hi [Name],

We built a family-focused section on Cook Out Menu covering Jr. Tray combos — like our "Strip Basket Jr. Starter" (3 chicken strips, hushpuppies, fries, sweet tea for ~$6.39 in most NC markets).

Each combo includes calorie estimates so parents can plan ahead. We also list allergen cross-contact notes and link to our full nutrition calculator.

Would a "Cook Out with kids" mini-guide work as a sidebar link on your [City] family activities page? We can customize the combo list for your metro.

Subject: Story tip: Cook Out still under $9 for a full tray in 2026 — regional price map

Hi [Reporter Name],

Quick story tip for your dining/consumer beat: Cook Out's tray combo — burger or chicken, two sides, and a drink — still lands under $9 in most Southeast markets in 2026, while competitors have pushed combo meals above $12.

We mapped verified price bands across NC, SC, VA, TN, GA, KY, AL, MS, WV, and MD at thecooksoutmenu.us/menu/prices. Kentucky and Mississippi run lowest (~$7.19 regular tray); Maryland skews highest (~$7.89).

Happy to share the full dataset, location counts, and representative combo builds for quote/attribution. Last verified: July 31, 2026.
