Yeah.

But when we first opened, Steppenwolf Theater was right across the street.

And me and my business partner were like, well, we have to have a pre-theater menu.

Because what if we don't have any people?

And we eliminated that right away.

Everybody came in.

We had three menu options.

Everybody wanted the biggest one.

And so we were off to the races.

There's no spirits.

So wine and beer.

Got it.

I wanted it to be a temple of food.

No distractions.

And none of the other stuff.

So it was all about purity of the experience.

with food in mind.

Spirits were not something that went well with food at that time, at least.

And I just wanted it to be a gastronomic palace.

So everything else was noise.
