Wiener's Circle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wiener's Circle is a popular restaurant in Chicago, Illinois. It is located at 2622 N. Clark Street. It is best known for its famously abusive[1] staff members, one of the more notable being 'Poochie'[2]. The ordering of a 'Chocolate Milkshake' is also a highlight, if you pay $10 and ask for a "chocolate milkshake" you will get flashed[citation needed] by one of the staff, almost all of whom are African American women.

It has been seen in popular culture on Comedy Central's Insomniac with Dave Attell[3] and Chicago Public Radio's/Showtime's This American Life[4].
