Molly informed me via e-mail that she'd heard about a free chili dog giveaway at "Hard Rock Café" in honor of the event. Since I was up at the Smithsonian today and Auddie happened to be with me, we strolled a few blocks up to the DC location to see if the exciting rumor was true. Unfortunately, the staff there had no idea what we were talking about and we ended up walking back in the sweltering heat, chili dog-less and dejected.
It turns out that the promotion was actually at Hard Times Café (which Molly had never heard of), which actually made perfect sense considering they are known as chili connoisseurs.
Since Auddie and I were still dreaming of free chili dogs and craving them even more after the misunderstanding, we stopped by the Springfield Hard Times location this evening to make our quest a success.
The only catch was that the free chili dog only came with a purchase, so naturally we ended up gorging ourselves on other junky but delicious food before enjoying our dogs. And boy were they delicious and worth the trip! Special thanks to Hard Times for honoring one of my favorite foods today. Mmm, mmm...
(Honestly, when was the last time you saw a chili dog photo posted in a blog?)
