"I think what sets us apart is there are three owners, and we're all here," Susan T. Gayford says, referring to co-owners John Pontarelli and chef William Farrah. A pianist performs in the evening in the first-level room. The 1,400 photos displayed throughout the restaurant feature musicians, meat purveyors, city fathers, gangsters and every Chicago mayor. (The mayors and the Mafia members are separated by a bar.) "We're a history book of Chicago," Gayford says. "We have all the mayors. Not even City Hall has pictures of all the mayors."
