Additional Information

Ditka Dogs was a fast-food restaurant in Naperville, a suburb of Chicago. The restaurant had paper bags with order forms attached. So, customers turned in the menu, and the food returned in the paper bags. The menu included hot dogs such as the Ditka dog, sandwiches, soups, and salads. 

The setting was the restaurant's most interesting feature. It was constructed like a football stadium with skyboxes (dining areas), a bottom section with green striped floor and tables, etc. As the restaurant's slogan says: It’s not just a hot dog, it’s an attitude.
