Health dept. shuts down Wiener's Circle ›

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.
