Sorry But Ketchup?

Sorry but ketchup? Only on my fries!!! Got the usual 2 polish with mustard, relish, grilled onions and pickle. (Outside the world-famous Wiener's Circle.)

Chi-town Story (Chow Time)

So I was headed north on Broadway/Belmont -- thinking about what I could pick up food- or sandwich-wise to chomp down on while walking.

The best place for burgers was FiveGuys -- but that was south on Fullerton. What to do? I naturally stopped and turned around, ordering my bacon cheeseburger with the usual 'toppings' on my cell-phone. Ten minutes later, I got there and picked the thing up.

Then walking back north, I crossed by Wiener's Circle. Oh, I thought to myself, gotta have a polish with mustard, relish, grilled onions and a pickle -- gotta!!! So I stopped by there too and picked up two polish.

Yummy! Yummy! I've got chow for the whole weekend!

Hot Dog Stand 'Wieners Circle' Closed Down By Board of Health

It's practically an institution on the North Side of Chicago. The Hot Dog Stand 'Wieners Circle' has been closed down by the Board of Health due, according to a sign on the door, to problems with their "hot water service". In other words, the pipes have burst.

I remember going there as an undergrad after a late night on the town. We'd first go to Neo's (then in its 'New Wave' phase) and then hit Wieners Circle for a Polish with grilled onions. This was way before they developed the schtick about swearing to customers and concentrated instead on the quality of the food.

Anyway, the sign on the door says they'll be back to continue their "love affair with Chicago" once they've completed some "needed re-modeling".
