We ALL get it. The election is Tuesday. Our phones are blowing up with political calls and texts, it's every other post on social media... the brain overload is real.

Between endless campaign chatter and busy work schedules, deciding what to make for dinner at the end of the day can feel like just one more exhausting task to check off your list.

If you want to skip cooking entirely and take at least one decision off your plate, there is a pretty sweet freebie happening downtown.

It's part of Johnsonville's satirical "Sausage for Dinner" campaign. They have been running mock political ads and placing yard signs around Grand Rapids to poke fun at political campaign overload. Their lighthearted pitch is basically: less election stress, more sausage.

What Is on the "Vote Sausage" Free Dinner Menu?

Now they're putting that idea into action with a free hot bar at Rosa Parks Circle Monday evening. Carryout options include pasta dishes, hot sandwiches, and protein or veggie bowls, with non-pork and vegetarian options available too. You can also nab a free product voucher while you're there (and while they last.)

More Fun at Rosa Parks Circle on Monday

Producer Steve from The Free Beer & Hot Wings Show will also be there throughout the evening. If you live in or around Grand Rapids, swing by on your drive home, grab dinner and say hi to Steve. You'll also have a chance to enter some giveaways, including one for tickets to see Staind and Seether.

Not a bad way to get out of making dinner on a Monday night!
