A hot dog and fries can sometimes be a lot more than just a hot dog and fries.

That was the case last week when the owners of The Wiener’s Circle in Lincoln Park delivered food to a group of 60 migrants who’ve been eating primarily cold sandwiches since they arrived in Chicago on Dec. 26, on a bus sent by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, and were greeted by subzero temperatures.
