You Can Score Chef Shannon Martinez's Vegan Hot Dogs for Free Today

It's said there's no such thing as a free lunch, but Shannon Martinez (Smith & Daughters, Smith & Deli) and Deliveroo are today proving the phrase wrong — in more ways than one. The legendary vegan chef and the food delivery group are teaming up to hand out hundreds of complimentary hot dogs that are both free from animal products and won't cost you a cent.

Today's giveaway — going down in both Sydney and Melbourne — are happening in celebration of Martinez's new collaboration with local group The Alternative Meat Co. Together, they've designed not just any old snag-in-bun affair, but, rather, a plant-based creation dubbed the Lasagne Dog. The limited-edition dog features a plant-based sausage in a vegan bun, finished with lashings of garlic butter, a rich plant-based bolognese and vegan cheese sauce by the Alternative Dairy Co.

Clocking in at $12, this beaut will be available through Deliveroo from Thursday, October 31, until Sunday, November 3. You'll find it on the app if you're located within 2.5 kilometres of Windsor in Melbourne, or 2.5 kilometres of Potts Point in Sydney.

But both cities are in for a free sneak peek today, Wednesday, October 30, with the Deliveroo crew handing out a swag of Lasagne Dogs between 12–2pm at the below locations.

Find free Lasagne Dogs at Melbourne's Balaclava (12–1pm) and South Yarra (1–2pm) stations or from Kings Cross Station (12–1pm) or Taylor Square (1–2pm) in Sydney.
