Wienerlicious is a German hot dog restaurant franchise, seen in the first season of Chuck, located in the same plaza as the Burbank Buy More. The franchise is replaced in the second season with a frozen yogurt shop, Orange Orange, under which Castle is built. Wienerlicious is an apparent parody of Wienerschnitzel.
The Weinerlicious was chosen as Sarah's cover location because it close to the Buy More where Chuck works, Sarah Walker takes a job at there so that she can easily keep a watch over Chuck during the day. There are several references, however, to her disastrous attempts at actually cooking the wieners, as seen in Chuck Versus the Helicopter, when Chuck, Ellie, Devon, and Morgan arrive at the shop to attempt to have another dinner together, and Chuck bravely eats a blackened corn dog
"And you realize you all have to eat my cooking."
To communicate with their CIA and NSA superiors easily, a hidden monitor and comm station is built into the main countertop, accessed by pressing cash register keys "7-2-1-0-Enter" as shown in Chuck Versus the Marlin.
During Sarah's time at the Wienerlicious, the only other member of staff who is seen is Scooter, her supervisor. Although not seen at work in the store, there are other Wienerlicious girls, since they are invited to Sarah's bachelorette party in Chuck Versus Agent X.
In Chuck Versus the Goodbye, when locations from the pilot are echoed, Chuck and Sarah find themselves in a Wienerlicious in Berlin.
