There are few foods more synonymous with summer than a classic, meaty hot dog. Rivaling the iconic s’mores, corn on the cob, and lobster rolls on the Mount Rushmore of summer foods, the hot dog is a staple from backyard barbecues to a day at the ballpark. And whether you prefer it deep fried, grilled, or boiled, today is its day in the proverbial sun. That’s because it’s National Hot Dog Day!
Regardless of if you prefer your frank on its own in a toasted New England-style bun or slathered with everything from spicy mustard to zippy relish to chili and cheese, there are “snappy” deals aplenty today to celebrate this unrivaled salty, savory summer food and you don’t have to be Joey Chestnut to take advantage of them. Keep scrolling to see some of the best glizzy deals (including some freebies).
