National Hot Dog Day hits the grill just about the time that the unofficial summer season hits its exact midway point.
We're not talking summer-summer here, as in the season that kicked off with the solstice, but rather the end-of-May/start-of-September span, when so many memorable summer-style pursuits take place.
For many dine-outers, those pursuits involve finding a super-flavorful frankfurter, the kind of hot dog that may make an eater shout "hot dog!" or, at the very least, enjoy the eating experience.

Dog Haus, the started-in-Pasadena purveyor of quirky and quality-driven doggery, has is open all year long and not just in the hot dog-loving summertime.
Still, the company takes time to pay tasty tribute to National Hot Dog Day each year, which is, yes, at the summer midpoint: July 17.
Dog Haus will spend the national food holiday treating its Haus Rewards members to a free Haus Dog, which isn't a single type of hot dog.

Rather, there are a few choices on the Haus Dog menu, including the oh-so-local Sooo Cali, an offering that features avocado, because of course it would. Arugula, too, plays a green and leafy role in this popular choice.
Other Haus Dogs are as tempting: The Cowboy has BBQ sauce as well as some other mouthwatering ingredients while the Downtown boasts smoked bacon and caramelized onions.
This is a one-per-customer sort of deal, and, again, you'll need to be a Haus Rewards member for your complimentary hot dog.
