Q-Tine Shutters in Logan, Wiener’s Circle’s April Fools Costume, More Intel

—Q-Tine, the late-night barbecue and poutine restaurant on Logan Square’s hot Milwaukee Avenue strip, is no more. A “for sale” sign has appeared on the storefront at 2339 N. Milwaukee Ave., DNAinfo first reported, and the phone line doesn’t ring and leads to a full mailbox. The restaurant opened in May 2015 and was frequently near-empty.

—Beloved late-night Lincoln Park hot dog stand The Wiener’s Circle continued its tradition of practical jokes this past April Fools Day, when it “dressed up” as being “annexed” by Russia and its president Vladimir Putin. Check out a photo of the menu below, which included Trump and Putin footlongs, “Putin’s Poutine” with melted “democracheese,” and a Dippin’ Dots dessert special named “The Spicer Swallows.”
