Everyone truly needs something they can feel good about and this Illinois hot dog joint is no exception. They are very proud of the fact that the new pope has eaten their dogs and they're showing it.

By now, you're almost certainly aware that the new pope is from Chicago. The Weiner's Circle in Chicago is celebrating this fact on their sign. I was alerted to this by the sharp-eyed folks on the Illinois sub-Reddit.

What else do we know about the new pope other than he loves Chicago hot dogs?

We know for a fact that Pope Leo XIV is a devoted Chicago White Sox fan.

He grew up in Dolton, Illinois.

He began his journey in a St. Louis, Missouri parish.

Pope Leo XIV taught at a school in Ashburn.

But wait, there's more about the Chicago hot dog sign...

As we shared a few weeks ago, you can even rent The Weiner's Circle sign for your own uses. Excuse me while I scheme for a few hours...
