Restaurant chain opens near UD, will open 3 more
The locally owned Hot Head Burritos chain opened its newest restaurant at 1113 Brown St. near the University of Dayton late this afternoon, March 25, and will open three additional restaurants in Kettering, Fairborn and West Carrollton in the next few months, Hot Head co-founder Ray Wiley said.
The Brown Street restaurant is the area’s fifth Hot Head Burritos location. The three that are coming soon, according to Wiley, include:
— in Kettering near Kettering Boulevard and West Dorothy Lane next to the newly opened Figaro’s Pizza in an outlot in front of Wal-Mart, scheduled to open around May 1;
— on Colonel Glenn Highway in Fairborn adjacent to Starbucks and near Wright State University, scheduled to open around June 1;
— on East Dixie Drive in West Carrollton in a building that formerly housed a McDonald’s, scheduled to open later this summer.
Wiley, who owns the burrito chain with his wife Cynthia and a third business partner, was unable to provide street addresses of the new restaurants. He said the public’s response to the Hot Head concept and menu “has been fantastic — we’re doing really well.”
Wiley also operates 10 Subway franchises in the Dayton area, including one in the same block as the new Hot Head Burritos restaurant. He said more burrito restaurants are planned, and said he’d like to see the Hot Head chain grow “as fast as humanly possible.”

TweetThis season, every Dragons game can be Skyline time
It seems a natural fit: The Dayton Dragons are a minor-league baseball team affiliated with the Cincinnati Reds, chili is Cincy’s signature dish, so why not bring chili dogs to Dragons games?
Skyline Chili is poised to do just that. Skyline chili dogs will be available at Fifth Third Field for the first time this season, the restaurant chain announced yesterday, March 24.
“Just as Skyline Chili is a tradition for so many in the Dayton area, so is Dragons baseball in the summer,” Alan Riney, Skyline Chili’s Vice President of Marketing, said in a news release. “We are proud to partner with the Dragons and be a part of another exciting baseball season.”
The partnership means that fans will be able to buy Skyline’s signature Cheese Coneys while attending Dragons home games. Skyline will be available at Fifth Third Field starting April 4 for the “Futures Game” when the Cincinnati Reds battle their top minor league prospects, Skyline officials said.
