These Chains Are Celebrating National Guac Day Because Chips Deserve To Be Dipped
Tortilla chips are good on their own, but they reach peak snack level when they're dipped. And while salsa is great and all, it's guacamole that deserves the most hype. In fact, guac is so good, it gets an entire day dedicated to it. Yup—September 16 is National Guacamole Day, so mark your calendars people!
Sure, making guacamole yourself is fun (we have over 25 guacamole recipes you can try) or perhaps you prefer to follow Chipotle's famous recipe, but free food just hits different, so here are all of the places offering free and cheap guac on National Guacamole Day. Guac on, my friend.
