Where will Chad and Trixie get their fix tonight?

Wiener’s Circle, an iconic hot dog stand on the North Side, was shut down by the city today after food inspectors found several food safety violations, including finding no hot running water at the Lincoln Park restaurant.

The restaurant, located 2622 N. Clark St., was also cited after inspectors found two pounds of cooked onions being stored at unsafe temperatures, the city department said. It said the onions were being stored more than 30 degrees below the required standard.

This story would be so much better if some inspector had just unknowlingly ordered a chocolate milkshake and was appalled at the result.

WHOA.   Chicago is really failing this month.

You should watch the videos that jeff linked to.

everyone should be skeptical of hot dogs and even more skepitcal of places that make the majority of their money selling them.

chicago still kicks ass in my book. why? well, because i live here. and i pretty much kick ass. :)
