Where To Celebrate National Chili Dog Day!!

Happy National Chili Dog Day! Hot dogs are great on their own, but whoever invented the chili dog should be given a medal. It elevates the regular hot dog in a bun when you smothered it with chili and sprinkle it with cheese and onions. National Chili Dog Day is celebrated the last Thursday in July….bon appetit!

This guy did a funny rendition of John Mellencamp’s “Jack & Diane” . . . if all the lyrics were “suckin’ on a chili dog.”

Here are a few spots to grab a chili dog today to celebrate!
