The public is invited to join legendary Chicago Bear Mike Ditka at his outdoor Monster Sausage Cookout, where he and Vienna Beef's Master Chef will be grilling Chicago's new eight-inch, one-third pound Ditka Sausages on Vienna's monster outdoor grill.

Attendees will be treated to music, giveaways and a festive atmosphere, while enjoying the new monster Ditka Sausages from Vienna Beef. Both the Ditka Hot Beef Polish Sausage and the Ditka Chicken Sausage with Mozzarella and Sun-Dried Tomatoes will be available for 89 cents, with all proceeds going to Gridiron Greats Assistance Fund.

LOOK-A-LIKES :
As a bonus, those dressed as Coach Ditka, or as a Chicago Super Fan, will receive both a free Ditka Sausage t-shirt and a Ditka Sausage prepared by "Da Coach" himself.

WHO :
Mike Ditka- legendary Chicago Bears' player and coach, and Chicago's new Sausage King- will host the event as the Grill Master. Coach Ditka will be signing autographs for fans who bring their own football, jersey or photograph.

WHEN :
11:00 am-1:00 pm
Wednesday, October 9, 2013
Coach Ditka will be available for autograph signing and media interviews between 11:30 am-12:30 pm.

WHERE :
Vienna Beef Factory Store (parking lot)
2501 N Damen Avenue
Chicago, IL 60647

DONATIONS :
For an 89-cent donation, attendees will receive their choice of a Ditka Hot Beef Polish Sausage or a Ditka Chicken Sausage with Mozzarella and Sun-Dried Tomatoes, hot-off-the-grill.

I hope Ditka doesn't lose control of his Monster Sausage like that truck in Mexico.

He'd kill thousands.
