Description

It's the final episode of Season 1 so we called in the big guns: Ina Pinkney, the legendary restauranteur known as "The Breakfast Queen" who served Chicago the most important meal of the day for 30+ years from her spots in Lincoln Park and the West Loop. Learn how she got her start, her battle with polio as a young child, how obsessing over the details helped her stand out (33:00 ), her brief foray into local politics and civic engagement (47:03 ), how she helped get the citywide smoking ban passed (52:00 ), fun stories from her life like dancing with Fred Astaire (1:00:35 ) and her advice for restauranteurs (01:05:00 , seriously though listen to this if you own a restaurant or plan to one day). Thank you all for listening to Season 1!
