Hot dog Muffler Man.

Bunyon's closes - Hot Dog Muffler Man for sale


Tourism News

Elise Star, daughter of Bunyon's owner Hamlet Stephens, recently informed us the restaurant is being sold, and the famous Hot Dog Muffler Man will be evicted, or at least sold separately.

"The neighborhood has changed over the past 40 years. My father built this hot dog joint himself and made it what it is today." Hamlet Stephens turned 80 years old October 26th.

"He still puts in 55 hours/week because his manager has been too ill to work."

Bunyon's (a mispelling of Bunyan for trademarking reasons) has been a landmark in Cicero for decades. "I can't tell you the number of people who are crying about the closing of Bunyons. I am talking about customers; where are they going to get the best beef and hot giardinair? My father is really touched."

Serious buyers can contact Elise at Enstar1315@aol.com [10/27/2002]
