What I remember the most were the singing waiters, and they were all German!

Totally iconic. I think many celebrities in Chicago ate there at
least once or twice. Best corned beef sandwiches at lunchtime (sliced
to order) - eaten standing up at the bar with a beer (or root beer).
The regular sit-down part was great too.

Sad it closed, but I revere having the cookbook - my husband even got
a signed copy fot me.
