Charles Ramsey, the Cleveland man that put his McDonald's meal on hold to help Amanda Berry escape from Ariel Castro's home earlier this month, will never have to pay for a burger again thanks to a thoughtful gesture from a group of Ohio restaurants.

Charles Ramsey, the Cleveland man that put his McDonald's meal on hold to help Amanda Berry escape from Ariel Castro's home earlier this month, will never have to pay for a burger again thanks to a thoughtful gesture from a group of Ohio restaurants.

More than a dozen Northeast Ohio restaurants have pledged an offer of a burger anytime Ramsey wants to stop by and dig in. AMP 150 at the Marriott Cleveland Airport; Washington Place Bistro and Inn in Little Italy; Fahrenheit restaurant in Tremont; Market Garden Brewery, Bier Markt, Bar Cento and Nano Brew in Ohio City; Welshfield Inn in Troy Township; Hodges and Pura Vida in downtown Cleveland; 87 West at Crocker Park in Westlake; Orchard House restaurant in Brunswick; Flour restaurant in Moreland Hills, and the Allegheny Grille in Foxburg, Pennsylvania, have joined in the offer.

Additionally, the restaurant where Ramsey works as a dishwasher, Hodges, has created the Ramsey Burger, which is a play on the infamous Big Mac recipe because that's what Ramsey was eating when he stopped to help Berry. [Cleveland.com]
