The Wiener Circle
Welcome to The Wiener Circle, a Chicago hot dog stand where you can stumble in after a night at the bar and trade some colorful banter from the staff (along with your chocolate shake). Sounds like a good time, but as you can see in this great segment from This American Life, a local tradition that was "supposed to be fun" often cuts a little too close for the black employees in the predominantly white Lincoln Park establishment.
My name is Doug Hammond, and I love chocolate hamburgers and ice cream.
