Listen "‘Poochie & Pang’ Explores Lesser-Known Chicagoland Eats"
Episode Synopsis
Poochie is a foul-mouthed employee of The Wiener’s Circle, the North Side hot dog stand where rude customer service — and rude customers — are part of the schtick. Kevin Pang is a documentarian and best-selling author who uses words and phrases like “mouth feel,” “artisanal,” and “meltingly tender.” The unlikely pair take their friendship and tastebuds around the region on “Poochie & Pang (eat Chicago).” Reset sits down with the duo.
