This location was featured in an ad campaign for the Chevrolet Cavalier. The guy pitching Italian sausage and cars in the ad, Jerry Pontarelli, works behind the counter. And during his visit to Chicago in the summer of 1996, Jay Leno frequented Mr. Beef. "This is his favorite place," says a manager. "He's been coming here for over 20 years."
