George Wendt, best known as Norm Peterson from 'Cheers', passed away at 76 in his home. A Chicago native, he was also a vital part of the city's cultural fabric through his role in Saturday Night Live's Superfans. This comedic persona celebrated Chicago's food, particularly sausages, which Wendt passionately discussed with friends and chefs. His love for the city and its cuisine made him a beloved figure. Notably, he cherished the connections with others, reminiscing about the best of Chicago's culinary scene, even post his move to LA.
Wendt was the best, the kindest, most humble true blue Chicago.
I looked back and he ordered Weisswurst and wieners.
He would use an exaggerated Chicago accent to make outlandish claims.
Sausages were vital to Wendt, even debating nuances with friends.
