The owners proposed establishing a new holiday to honor their signature dish, which has been on the Snuffer’s menu since 1978. There are many variations: instead of regular French fries, you can try Idaho potatoes; cheddar cheese can be replaced with Wisconsin cheese. During the celebration at the restaurant, free portions are sometimes served to a few lucky guests.
