HopCat will celebrate it's 10th anniversary with a Crack Fries eating contest. The food and fun will take place on Saturday, Jan. 20, at all of its 14 locations.

Each HopCat will feature exclusive beers and will give away free servings of our famously addictive fries. That’s right, FREE CRACK FRIES! They'll be available one order per customer along with any purchase until 5 p.m. The party gets going at 11 a.m.

There is a $5 fee to participate in the contest, which HopCat will match and donate the entire sum to nearby Humane Society chapters. So even if you don’t win, you’ll get to stuff yourself for a good cause. The registration deadline is 2:30 p.m. on Jan. 20, in person or in advance.
