Local: Watch Jeff Tweedy, Jeff Garlin and Steve Albini Work at Chicago's Weiner Circle Last Weekend
Chicago’s legendary Wiener Circle had a few familiar special guests last week. If you happened to find yourself inline for a hotdog at Lakeview’s Wiener Circle, you may have noticed a few new “employees” hurling insults and slinging hot dogs your way. Jeff Tweedy, Steve Albini and Jeff Garlin were behind the counter last Saturday as part of a fundraiser for Poverty Alleviation Chicago, an organization founded by Albini's wife, Heather Whinna. The charity brings food, gifts and money to those in need on Christmas morning as part of their “Letters to Santa” program. Check the footage below and find out more about the organizations here.

Tweedy drove himself home in a midsized, practical SUV, proving a generational songwriter can also just be a humble guy from Chicago helping his community pic.twitter.com/xwavrm9KtT
