RESOLUTION

 

WHEREAS, Palace Grill, the famed Chicago restaurant located at 1408 West Madison Street, is celebrating its 80th Anniversary in 2018; and

 

WHEREAS, the Chicago City Council has been informed of this achievement by Alderman Edward M. Burke; and

 

WHEREAS, since 1938 Palace Grill has served Chicago's West Loop as a classic American diner with a warm atmosphere to enjoy a hearty meal; and

 

WHEREAS, Palace Grill has famously been visited by Mayor Richard M. Daley, Al and Tipper Gore, Russian Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin, countless TV and radio personalities, and the Chicago Blackhawks who regularly pick up breakfast sandwiches before practice; and

 

WHEREAS, Palace Grill has been featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show, Windy City Live, Sandwich King, Secrets of a Restaurant Chef and Chicago's Best, and was voted the "best breakfast restaurant" in Chicago by the Chicago Sun Times; and

 

WHEREAS, within the Chicago area there are only a handful of restaurants that have withstood the test of time as long as Palace Grill; now, therefore,

 

BE IT RESOLVED, that we, the Mayor and the members of the Chicago City Council, assembled this twenty-fifth day of July, 2018, do hereby express our congratulations and appreciation to Palace Grill for its remarkable 80 years of business; and
