Lucky Dog’s slated to open across the street from Portillo’s.

A new gourmet hot dog restaurant is slated to open across the street from Portillo’s. While Lucky Dog’s, 2975 Lindbergh Blvd., will be a fraction of the size of the 7,800-square-foot Portillo’s that opened last December, it will offer liquor and video gaming in addition to a build-your-own hot dog menu.

Owner Gene Rowell operates under the business name Kickn 66 Liquor & More and has a gaming parlor in Litchfield with the same name. Lucky Dog Slots opened last month in Westville and additional locations are planned for Mattoon and River Grove.
