Introduction to the Contest
LINCOLN PARK — Calling all fans of the Bears, manicured nails and matcha lattes: A Caleb Williams look-alike contest is being held next week.
Contest Details
The Wieners Circle will host the look-alike contest for the Bears’ star quarterback at 6 p.m. Tuesday at the famous hotdog stand, 2622 N. Clark St.
The winner will take home a prize package with items including a Wieners Circle gift card and merch, according to the restaurant.
The Inspiration Behind the Contest
The contest comes amid a playoff push by the Bears that has taken the city by storm — especially following the team’s dramatic comeback win over the rival Green Bay Packers last weekend.
The game against the Packers has made a star of Williams, who is known to go viral for his pre-game outfits that often feature him sporting a fresh manicure, an iced matcha latte and wired headphones.
Previous Promotions
It is at least the third Bears-related promotion at the Wieners Circle this season.
In December, the hot dog stand known for its pithy billboard messages and surly staff, drew nearly 1,000 fans by giving away free hot dogs after Bears coach Ben Johnson’s shirtless celebration following the team’s win over the Super Bowl–defending Philadelphia Eagles. Before that, the restaurant gave away hotdogs after Williams threw four touchdown passes in a game against the Dallas Cowboys.
Commitment to the Bears
The restaurant has also pledged to hand out free hot dogs to paradegoers — as many as possible — and offer free hot dogs for life to Bears players if Chicago wins the Super Bowl this year, betting big on the Chicago team’s storybook season.
If the Bears win the Super Bowl, we will feed free hot dogs to the entire parade (as many as we can give out), and the players on the team will receive free hot dogs at our store for the rest of their lives https://t.co/xqNy8QkZjx— The Wieners Circle (@TheWienerCircle) January 9, 2026
Reaction to the Contest
Some commenters joked the look-alike contest could also double as a dating opportunity.
One wrote, “I’ll be down there too. Please be single.”
Another added, “All them fine men on a Tuesday? Let me see if I can tell my job grandma [I’m] not gonna make it again.”
