There's a new restaurant opening in Chicago which the owner created to give ex-cons a second chance at becoming a productive member of society.
The owner says the purpose of the stand -- which boasts such specialties as the Felony Frank, the Misdemeanor Wiener and naturally, freedom fries -- is to help his employees -- now numbering 10 full-time ex-offenders. He says there are a lot of good people coming out of jail who need a second chance. (Good for him...I agree)
But not everyone is in love with Felony Franks. A local councilman thinks the name is inappropriate. For a restaurant theme, he says it's a poor choice. But the community seems to disagree. Sales of felony franks are selling like crazy. Just goes to show you that if you have a good product, provide good service at a fair price that people will support you.
Their motto is "Food so good it's criminal!" Sounds like a road trip to Chicago. But the real question is, "Will they taste as good as Coney Island hotdogs from Cumberland?" Hmmm.
