Hey, you guys, has anyone read my post about losing the Italian grocery and bakery in the West Loop?
I'm on a mission to rediscover it. Check out my posting. I know that one of you knows this location.
Thanks,
Lyne

OMG is there a prize for contradicting yourself?

What was I thinking, Farenheit?

I think Pat Concannon was there then.......

Just for the record, the Berghoff closed at the end of February .

Believe it was about 100 years old.

Yup- but they're keeping the bar open, aren't they? I know they're still brewing.

Berghoff doesn't brew their own beer. It is brewed in Wisconsin. I believe by Huber Brewing in Monroe, WI. What I heard is that they gave (or sold) it to their daughter who runs a catering company. In fact, I used to work for her. All we did was off-premise stuff as we had no facilities for on-site parties, but I guess that has changed now.

WOW!

what a web site. There's simply too much information too digest when reading the previous posts. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this site from now on.

thanks!
