The Weiner Circle

This is a clip I cut out from the awesome TV show on Showtime, "This American Life." The clip is about the Wiener Circle, a hot dog joint that any college-age person in Chicago unavoidably knows about. This is a brief look behind the scenes. Enjoy!

Real smart shouting racial slurs at the people who cook your food.

@nicsfolks No kidding. There used to be a place sort of like that on Cape Cod, but not quite as raunchy. Also, they closed a few years ago, I think.

[ReneeOfTheFae]

@hoeksteen69 And just for the record, this is extremely out of the norm for typical American restaurants and life in general. You get thrown out of most places for stuff like this.

[OrcishTroll]

@hoeksteen69 Ya, because there TOTALLY aren't places like this ANYWHERE in Europe, right?

Bro, get over yourself and stop acting like Europe is heaven. It isn't. Europeans are human, just like Americans, just like Africans, and just like Asians.

This place is awesome. If I'm ever in Chicago I'm going here.

[cousincole]

Wow they forgot to mention that it also has the best hot dogs.

This is just sad. I want to give those employees a hug.
