Butte, America has become accustomed to seeing big name actors and productions come to town.  We are literally only minutes away from some of the best fishing, camping, skiing and hunting in the world.  Our scenery is unmatched.  Our hospitality?  Second to none.  Our Historic District rivals those of much bigger cities back east.  It is no surprise that we have attracted big productions and famous actors to our neck of the woods.  We have seen George Hamilton on a motorcycle racing through the streets portraying one of our own legends, Evel Knievel, back in the 1970s.  We've seen Lonesome Dove films and stars like Rick Schroeder.  Louis Gossett Jr. has spent time here.  Michael Keaton is a property owner of some nice land in the Wise River area and is often seen around Butte.

Another thing we have here in Butte are an abundance of incredible, local restaurants.  Just a few days ago, another local guy who has found fame, Tim Montana, was spotted dining at one of his favorite restaurants, the Hangin' 5, alongside Robert Patrick who every Gen X'er knows as the T-1000 from Terminator 2: Rise of the Machines.  Tim's son, a huge fan, even got a surprise at school.

Now as awesome as it may be to have a Terminator show up at your school, something just as cool happened at one of Butte's most unique restaurants, Mr. Hot Dog's.  Mr. Hot Dog's has been named Montana's Best Hot Dog and can now boast one of the biggest names in Hollywood as one of its customers.

1923 is back filming in Butte and one of it didn't take long for one of its big stars to show up in town and Harrison Ford did just that. Of course, Ford is synonymous with the names Han Solo, Indiana Jones and to an extent, Dr. Richard Kimble.  Of course, with 1923 returning to film in Butte seeing Harrison Ford is nothing new but seeing him enjoying one of our favorite local restaurants is something special.  Welcome back to Butte, Mr. Ford.  And Bon Appetit!
