Wiener's Circle — the famous hot dog joint known for its sassy staff — went all out for Halloween this year by completely transforming into McDowell's, the fictional restaurant from the 1988 film "Coming to America."

On Friday morning, the restaurant's general manager Scott Brooker orchestrated the transformation of the restaurant by replacing the signs, outfitting his staff in red-and-yellow checkered McDowell's uniforms and even putting up fictional menus and an "Employee of the Month" flier depicting Louie Anderson, who played Maurice in the film.

Brooker said it's the first time the restaurant has ever completely transformed for Halloween — and it wasn't cheap. "It was definitely costly," he said, declining to provide an amount. "We're not going to make any money this week but we wanted to make a splash." As of Friday afternoon, Brooker said the employees at the McDonald's across the street had yet to say anything to them.

What do you think, is this homage too much or is it genius?
