Head over to Pink’s Hot Dogs on La Brea Avenue on Thursday, July 31, and sink your teeth into a classic chili cheese dog to celebrate National Chili Dog Day. Pink’s is giving away free classic chili cheese dogs to the first 200 customers, one per person. The next 200 chili cheese dogs will be sold at regular price, with all proceeds benefiting the charity No Kid Hungry. Owner Richard Pink said it is part of the National Hot Dog Month celebration in July at Pink’s and raises money for children in need.

“It’s a great way for Pink’s to give back,” he said. “It’s a fun thing; it’s our classic chili cheese dog. What better way to celebrate National Chili Dog Day than to come to Pink’s.”

Pink’s Hot Dogs is located at 709 N. La Brea Ave. For information, visit pinkshollywood.com.
