Everywhere You Can Get Free & Cheap Food for 4/20

Every April 20—the designated pseudo-holiday celebrating weed—seems to bring with it a new string of states that have legalized recreational cannabis sales. It's a holiday that's increasingly easy to celebrate for many.

Each year also sees the food industry embrace the weed holiday a little more, even if the deals that come on April 20 also require you to endure a truly painful avalanche of weed-based puns. It's like watching your parents try to pretend they're still in their 20s. Like other years, there are a boatload of chains and local restaurants offering specials for 4/20 in 2021. You'll find offers from Smashburger, Chili's, Insomnia Cookies, and many others.
