IF YOU ever do old pizza places.....could you find out where or who would have the recipe from SUNNY ITALY'S? (on randolph)....during 50's and 60's....the best pizza ever in Chicago. Also good: East Inn, Danny's.
A very fun thing for you to organize: A reunion for all (or some....some may be dead) of the old (and I mean OLD) patrons of a couple of the above places.
thanks for memories
Tango in the Belmont hotel during the 70's was the start of the Chicago modern restaurant minimalist interiors & created quite a buzz. A break away from the "fern & timber" establishments, with shades of grey & the food & patron was the "star". Besides "Gordon", Sinclair also had the Oak Tree in the Belden Statford hotel & Lexanders an upstairs rest. near Gordon.
Whoops...the Gordons rest. in the Belden was called "The Other Side"...opposite Ambria..but it DID have a big oak tree in the middle!!!The Oak Tree was ...on oak St.
