Ed Sheeran visited an iconic Chicago restaurant where employees are encouraged to think out loud… and be rude about it.
The British singer-songwriter, 32, who has visited several local restaurants as he travels the United States for his + – = ÷ x (“Mathematics”) Tour, got behind the counter at Chicago hotdog stand The Wieners Circle on Saturday.
The iconic restaurant, an attraction known for its loud, rude treatment of customers, let Sheeran serve Chicago-style hot dogs. Despite throngs of screaming fans, it was business more or less as usual — and the “Thinking Out Loud” singer was not exempt from the employees’ jabs.

Footage the musician shared on Instagram shows a stand employee announcing, “We’re gonna have Ed Sheeran here at the motherf—-er Wiener’s Circle and I’m gonna teach that wanker how to make a f—ing hot dog.”
In the profanity-laden video, the same worker debuts Sheeran to screaming fans, who she also tells to “shut the f— up” and “shove [a hotdog] up your a–.”
As the “Perfect” singer hands out hot dogs, the employees hurl insults at him and the throngs of fans clamoring for a chance to meet him — and Sheeran cannot seem to stop smiling and laughing.
