The Staff

Poochie
Poochie is the manager at The Wiener's Circle (or, in her words, “the head b***h in charge”). She has worked there for 17 years and plans to own it someday. Poochie’s sharp tongue and infectious laugh have brought people to the hot dog stand from all around the globe.

Erika
Erika, or “Lady E” as her friends call her, is the assistant manager at The Wiener's Circle. When she first started working nights, she was known as “the quiet one." But before long, her quick wit and wild dance moves established her as a customer favorite.

Yolanda
Yolanda is on her second tour of duty at The Wiener's Circle. After discovering that her attitude wasn’t exactly appreciated in a “normal” work environment, she quickly returned to her roots at The Wiener's Circle. Despite her stern looks, Yolanda has a heart of gold. But be warned: If you mess with her co-workers, Yolanda will step in.

Kim
Kim is a long-time night-shift veteran at The Wiener's Circle. She can often be found arguing with customers about her beloved sports teams and paying homage to her home state of Wisconsin. Kim plans on winning the lottery and only working the night shift when she needs to get some frustration out.

Johnny
Johnny is The Wiener’s Circle’s "Fry Guy," busboy and all-around handyman. When something goes wrong, Johnny is there to fix it…or at least provide a running commentary about whatever is happening around the store. When he’s not fulfilling his Wiener’s Circle duties, Johnny is busy being the store’s resident entrepreneur, often coming up with new ways to supplement his income. He also plays in a bowling league, averaging 180 per game.

Barry and Larry
Barry and Larry have co-owned The Wiener's Circle for nearly 30 years. When they first opened, Barry worked the day shifts and Larry ran the night shift. Soon, the locals began flooding the place after the bars closed, and Larry quickly learned that the best way to keep them in line was to holler and swear at them. Eventually, this attitude helped The Wiener’s Circle become legendary around Chicago…and the world.
Between the two of them, Barry & Larry have seen everything come through the doors of The Wiener's Circle. Although they aren’t as hands-on these days, they continue to watch the antics through the windows of their apartments, which just happen to be located directly across the street.
