Over the weekend, the 32-year-old singer visited the famous hot dog stand and served food to his fans.
In a video shared on social media, one of the employees of the restaurant announced: “We’re gonna have Ed Sheeran here at the motherf***ing Wiener’s Circle and I’m gonna teach that wanker how to make a f***ing hot dog.”
The same worker then continued with the friendly insults and asked Sheeran to “shut the f*** up” and “shove [a hotdog] up your a**.”
The “Photograph” singer handed out hotdogs to customers with a big smile on his face.
“Served hot dogs at @wienerscircle today,” Sheeran wrote alongside the video on Instagram.
He added: “This place is legendary [in] Chicago for serving hot dogs and insulting their customers. I loved it. See you at the stadium tonight x.”
The Wieners Circle also shared a footage of Sheeran, writing: “Our newest trainee @edsheeran has a lot to learn. He’s way too proper and friendly.”
