Free Red Robin chili if Hell (Michigan) freezes over

The Red Robin burger chain is offering a reason to hope for temperatures to drop this week — if Hell, Michigan “freezes over” this week, stores across the country will be offering a free cup of chili to lucky patrons according to a report in the Detroit Free Press.

If temperatures stay below freezing for a full day between Tuesday and Sunday, Red Robin will serve the first 100 customers in each of its stores a free cup of Chili on Tuesday, Feb. 26.

According to the Free Press report, Hell mayor John Colone will serve as Red Robin’s local weather expert for the week and will certify whether a full day of “frozen” weather occurs.

There are two Red Robins in the Ann Arbor area, one near Briarwood Mall, and one on Carpenter Road in Pittsfield Township.
