Chicago Hot Dog Shack Welcomes Trump To Town With ‘Art Of The Meal’ 3-Inch Trumplongs

OK , sophomoric but let your hair down once in a while

It makes sense, with all the focus being on Donald Trump’s junk, lately, that The Wiener’s Circle, in Chicago, Ill., would want to get in on the fun of welcoming the Republican presidential front-runner to the city for Friday’s rally at UIC Pavilion. After anonymous, obviously political, enthusiasts made their thoughts on Trump’s pending arrival public by vandalizing a “Vote Trump” billboard so that it read “F*CK Trump,” The Wiener’s Circle decided to run a one-of-a-kind “Art of the Meal” special welcoming the former reality star to the city.

Could it be because of our ART OF THE MEAL menu, coinciding w @realDonaldTrump's chicago stop? pic.twitter.com/DGBCL7W5mY

The deal is only good for the weekend Trump will be in town, but features a few options, according to the Circle’s creative director, Brendan Kelly. First and foremost there is the “Trump footlong,” or “Trumplong,” coming in at right about 3-inches of actual frank.

Y'know, come to think of it...when I visited Chicago's downtown in October I didn't see one street food vendor. A few days later I was in NYC and anywhere there was a lot of foot traffic, you'll find a vendor cart.

Beyond that, people should look up the piece Conan did on them with Triumph the Insult Comic Dog and the weird kid from 30 Rock.

Nothing quite as good as a nice Chicago style dog!

Of course, they're so SMALL that you'd need at least 2 or 3...

Every time I got one, it was sprinkled with celery salt, so I assumed it wasn't 'official' without it.

some do some don't - I always ask for mine W/O salt.
These do not appear to have any


In some places you can get chased out for asking for ketchup on your dog though

Anyone over age 5 who puts ketchup on a hot dog (Chicago-style or otherwise) deserves any & all ridicule directed their way.

Catch-up or whatever they call it, is a mortal sin. On dogs, burgers, sausage, - pretty. I have everything.

The only place it works is as a part of the base for a marinade for ribs. Vinegar, ketchup. Salt, sugar, onion, sage, pepper, and more.

Staff give it back as well.

If you're looking for late night food and abuse, it's the place to go. If you're easily offended not a place for you.
The staff is extremely abusive and use such foul language it makes sailors blush. People come from far and wide for a bit of verbal bashing. But it's all in fun.
