The Wiener's Circle coming to Rosemont

Lincoln Park's famous The Wiener's Circle hot dog stand will open its second location this spring at the new Impact Field in Rosemont, the Chicago Dogs baseball team announced Wednesday.

The new location will feature the eatery's famous marquee and signature menu items, such as char dogs and char burgers. Some of the Wiener's Circle's celebrity staff will make special appearances this summer during Chicago Dogs home games, according to the team.

"The Wiener's Circle has become an iconic destination for Chicagoans," Chicago Dogs co-owner Shawn Hunter said in Wednesday's announcement. "We look forward to bringing their flavor and sass to the home of the Chicago Dogs."

As part of the partnership, the Dogs will celebrate "Wiener Wednesdays" during every Wednesday home game by changing their name to "The Chicago Wieners." Players will wear specially branded uniforms with a Wiener's Circle patch and "#NoKetchup" logo, designed by local studio Kindle Pointe. The Wednesday home games also will serve as a celebration of Chicago's oldest culinary tradition, with special offers for fans to enjoy.

The original Wiener's Circle, at 2622 N. Clark St., is famous not just for its food, but the occasionally profane and hostile banter between customers and staff. There was no word from the Dogs on Wednesday whether that element of the original would carry over to the Impact Field location.

Impact Field is the 6,300-seat home to the Chicago Dogs independent league baseball team, which begins its inaugural season May 18. The home opener is May 25. The team will host an open house at the stadium, 9800 Balmoral Ave. in Rosemont, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday.
