Vienna Beef, Cubs to bring 'Smokies' back to Wrigley Field

CHICAGO (WLS) -- The Chicago Cubs and Vienna Beef are partnering to bring back a familiar smell and taste with the introduction of Wrigley Field Smokies this weekend.

The six-inch smoked sausages will be available at a newly re-branded grill cart in Wrigley Field's main concourse throughout the rest of the season and in retail locations throughout Chicagoland within the next several weeks, in time for the Fourth of July holiday.

"We are very excited to team up with the Chicago Cubs to 'bring back the Smokies' to Wrigley Field this year. For decades, fans enjoyed great-tasting smoked sausages while they took in a game at the ballpark. They'll be able to savor that smoky flavor once again both at Wrigley Field and at home from their local supermarket," said Vienna Beef Chairman Jim Bodman.

Vienna Beef, the Official Hot Dog of Wrigley Field, will celebrate Hot Dog Month in July with fans through promotions and giveaways at the ballpark.
