Why is July the wurst month? Because it's National Hot Dog Month.
And by “wurst,” of course, we mean “best,” because there are plenty of hot-diggity deals for frankfurter fans — especially on Wednesday, July 19, which is National Hot Dog Day.
Several restaurants and brands are offering discounts or even free hot dogs in honor of the holiday, including Target, Sonic and Nathan's Famous Hot Dogs.
Below are some of the companies celebrating National Hot Dog Day with sweet deals. Relish 'em while they last!
Dog Haus
This restaurant chain doesn’t play when it comes to its hot dogs. (Its Instagram bio? “The Absolute Würst.”)
