In Honour of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

This is a restaurant in Chicago called The Weiner's Circle, on Clark Street (the same street featuring the airborne Ferrari in Ferris Bueller). It's famous for the fact that the employees are generally abusive and curse you out when you order; if you saw the episode of Insomniac with Dave Attell a few years ago on Comedy Central, this was one of the featured spots he hit, as it stays open until 05:00 on the weekends.

The problem comes in after the bars let out, when the all-black staff has to deal with the all-white crowd of frat-boy drunkards.

"At it's best, especially early in the evening, this is what it's like. Friendly. But there's another side to things here. When the Weiner Circle suspended the normal rules of how people should treat each other, they accidentally unleashed a lot of pent-up feelings that probably were pent up for good reasons."
