ORLAND PARK, IL — Don's Hot Dogs, a popular Orland Park lunch spot, burned Wednesday, fire officials said. The 40-year-old fast-food restaurant was gutted, and part of its roof collapsed after firefighters found the building in flames early Wednesday morning.

Firefighters responded to a 911 call of a structure fire at 7245 W. 151st St. and determined the blaze started near the rear of the restaurant, officials said. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
