Ed Sheeran performed in Chicago this weekend on his Mathematics Tour, where he made a surprise appearance at The Wiener’s Circle.
“This place is legendary [in] Chicago for serving hot dogs and insulting their customers. I loved it,” the singer wrote in an Instagram caption.
In a video shared on Instagram, the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter steps up to the counter and serves Chicago-style hot dogs, all while immersed in playful insults hurled by the restaurant’s foul-mouthed staff.
