Corn Dog Eating Contest; Back Door Chicken

LOWER GREENVILLE—Do you really, really love corn dogs? Enter The Libertine's 5th annual Brass Knuckles corn dog eating contest; it's free to enter, and whoever eats the most dogs in 15 minutes wins a $100 gift certificate to the bar. [Eaterwire]

VICTORY PARK—According to some arbitrary calendar, July 6th is National Fried Chicken Day, and Cook Hall is celebrating with bourbon-glazed fried chicken "fried with lemongrass, garlic and shallots then finished with a Maker's Mark, honey and cracked pepper glaze." Silly food holidays aside, that chicken sounds pretty damn good; get it July 6th through the 14th. [Eaterwire]

PANTEGO—Psst: The new-ish Chop House Steak & Seafood in Pantego — that's er, near Arlington — has a sweet back door chicken deal. It's less dirty than it sounds: 8 pieces of bacon fat-fried chicken, jalapeno-cheddar biscuits, roasted corn on the cob, mashed potatoes and gravy for just twenty bucks. [City of Ate]
