Historically, the best party essentials are things that can be shot out of a cannon such as hot dogs, ALF T-shirts, and pirates who refuse to turn down a dare. Chow down on party fare with today's Groupon to Wiener Take All in Buffalo Grove. Choose between the following options:

• For $3, you get $6 worth of hot dogs, sandwiches, and drinks.
• For $25, you get $50 worth of catering services.

Wiener Take All assembles a juicy menu of pure-beef Vienna dogs and classic American eats. Sample the popular chili-cheese and onion slathered Junk Yard Dog ($3.69), or outfit underdressed Vienna beef dogs ($2.24) in complimentary condiments including onion, tomato, and celery salt. Batter-dipped onion rings ($2.39) accompany a stable of charbroiled sandwiches, which build bread fences around meats such as strip steak capped with barbecue sauce, grilled onions, and fries ($7.39). Cold milkshakes ($2.19–$2.39) equalize hot dog heat in a bevy of flavors that waver deliciously between liquid and solid like a fresh stream of snowman tears.

Wiener Take All also caters events in Chicago and the North, Northwest, and West suburbs with platters of mouthwatering American meats and sides to lighten the load of piñata-laden event planners.
