Piranha Club #8 was a smashing success! It was a real pleasure to tap into the resonating, collective love for Leo’s Lunchroom. We had old regulars come out and folks that weren’t around back when, but were excited to tap into the legend. This was the first time we’d served restaurant style and it proved to be a fulfilling exercise– a good way to accommodate wider audiences. Be on the lookout for a return to this format.
It was a huge honor to be featured by my favorite Chicago food writer, Mike Sula in the Food Chain over at the Chicago Reader. His words (and really nice photos) can serve as a snapshot of the event better than my own, so please check out the piece HERE.
