Suggestions for National Hot Dog Day tomorrow 

Here in the Red Stick, we love to celebrate food. Lucky for us, this Wednesday, July 17, is National Hot Dog Day.

Grill up your own hot dogs or grab some from one of the spots around town, including Baton Rouge’s own gourmet hot dog spot, Frankie’s Dawg House. However you choose to celebrate is up to you—just make sure you do. You’re welcome for this latest excuse to splurge.


This one’s for the pups

Pour one out for your four-legged friends at The Bulldog this Thursday, July 18.  Bring your pups to The Bulldog, 5-7 p.m., where 20% of the proceeds from this Thursday’s Pints for Pups Yappy Hour will go to Friends of the Animals Baton Rouge.

The Bulldog is at 4385 Perkins Road.
