Today is…National Men Make Dinner Day™
#NationalMenMakeDinnerDayAccording to the official website for National Men Make Dinner Day, most men cook, but some don’t, feeling lost when they are in kitchens. This day is for the latter group of men to attempt to make dinner and is not directed at those men who already do cook. Being that it is a holiday about men cooking, the implication seems to be that women usually do most of the cooking. Sandy Sharkey, then a radio broadcaster in Ottawa, Canada, filed for a Canadian trademark for the holiday in 2001. She created the day so she would get a meal a day from her non-cooking husband once a year.
National Men Make Dinner Day™ is observed next on Thursday, November 1st, 2018. It has been observed the first Thursday in November since 1998.
