Here’s Where To Score Free Food On National Hot Dog Day

Summer is the perfect time to retire your oven for a few months. Who wants to crank up the air conditioning to counter the heat it gives off? No one. That’s why grilling is so perfectly suited for summer dining. Steaks, burgers, sausages, chicken, vegetables… everything goes on grill. Even pizza can easily be made on an outdoor grill with the right amount of patience. But, the easiest (and potentially best) grilling food is the hot dog. We don’t worry about what it’s made out of because it’s so damn tasty covered in relish and mustard (adding ketchup is heresy for Anthony Bourdain, but we’re down for that, too).

The only thing easier than grilling a solitary hot dog is buying one at a restaurant. And, since today is National Hot Dog Day, you don’t even have to trot out your grilling technique — you can just have someone else make it for cheap (or free). Check out the sweet deals below and see for yourself.
