What Does #ChiliDogDay Mean?

National Chili Dog Day falls on the last Thursday of July and celebrates the messy, delicious combination of a hot dog smothered in chili. The chili dog has been an American staple since at least the 1920s, with regional variations ranging from Cincinnati-style with cinnamon-spiced chili to Texas-style with no-bean chili. It is comfort food at its most unapologetic.

How to Use #ChiliDogDay

Post a photo of your chili dog creation - the messier, the better. Share your chili recipe or debate the great toppings question (onions? cheese? sour cream?). Hot dog stands and restaurants can promote their signature chili dog for the day.
