Auditions will take place on Saturday, September 10th from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. at WTTW11's studios at 5400 N. St. Louis Avenue in Chicago.

The program's creator, David Manilow of Semaphore Media, is looking for enthusiastic children who aren't "intimidated by a studio setting, have something to say, and are excited about their [chosen] restaurant."

Children MUST be available for the show's taping on October 3rd.
