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!

I have been there when it was EXACTLY like that and I was mortified at why people would find it "fun".

This announcer is a wuss. Some neo-lefty prick that thinks because he votes for Obama he is enlightened. I have been there many times and it is not like that. You do see the occasional jerk but that is about it.

Just went there on Friday. I asked for the chocolate shake without knowing. My GOD!!!

And just so you all know that isnt how it is. its very rare to hear racial slurs, and when it does happen, not only does the staff tell them to never come back, but so does all the customers. this reporters just a load of shit.

Whoever reported on this sucks. Your "hyper-segregation" rant is absolute bullshit. Wiener Circle represents everything that is right about Chicago and you clearly missed the entire montra of the joint, which is that people like you need to tuck your dick between your legs and get the fuck out.

if you think this is what chicago's all about, you don't know chicago.
