108 Free Hot Dogs At The Wiener's Circle After L.A. Wager
CHICAGO (CBS) -- For a true Chicagoan, nothing is better than hot dogs and baseball.
And after a friendly Twitter debate and the Cubs defeating the Dodgers, Chicagoans will get just that.
Pink's Hot Dogs in L.A. will pay for The Wiener's Circle in Lincoln Park to giveaway Tuesday, Oct. 25 free Chicago-style hot dogs to the first 108 customers, resembling the number of years since the Cubs have won the World Series.
Pink's Hot Dogs will also be donating $1,908, again marking the No. 108, to Cubs Manager Joe Maddon's charity, Respect 90 Foundation.
The debate started after The Wiener's Circle put up a sign outside the establishment reading, "Hey LA! Pink's Stinks." The friendly exchange of comments moved to Twitter.
