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 entrepreneurial lifestyle. Armed with a 5-year hot dog cart permit in Oz Park, Chicago, we built momentum while our catering operation took off. That explosive growth led to our first brick-and-mortar location in 2019. With a deep passion for cooking and serving our community, we invite you to stop in for lunch any day of the week—or join the 250+ customers who trust us to host their private events. We proudly serve the almighty Classic Chicago Dog, dragged through the garden, while shaking things up with a lineup of unconventional Haute Dogs, artisan sausages, prime-grade burgers, Italian beef, and more. Pro tip: Be prepared to rock out when you arrive—Van Halen is always on rotation.
