Allow us to introduce ourselves! This Mom & Pop operation has been running since 2009 by Will and Marci Lehnert - lovingly branded as "Wilma." ![]() We ditched the corporate lifestyle early in our marriage to return to our restaurant roots (how we met!) and we never looked back. Hubby's journey began with a hunger for the entreprenuer lifestyle. A 5-year hot dog cart permit was held in Oz Park, Chicago while the catering operation gained speed. The explosive growth lead to our first brick-and-mortar opening in 2019. With a passion for all things cooking and serving the community, we invite you to stop in for lunch any day of the week or be one of the 250+ people who invite us to host private service! We offer the almighty Classic Chicago Dog, dragged through the garden, while still shaking things up with a selection of unconventional Haute Dogs, Artisan Sausages, Prime-grade Burgers, Italian Beef and more. This ain't your Papa's hot dog stand - we fancy. And be prepared to rock out when you arrive - Van Halen is in constant rotation.
