Chez paul
|
|
Established in 1945 by Paul Contos, this legendary Chicago continental restaurant became famous under Paul's son, Bill. Bill Contos died in April of 1992 and though the restaurant was struggling, his wife, Regina kept it open for a few more years, long enough to see its 50th anniversary. Paul Contos opened Chez Paul at Delaware Avenue off Michigan Boulevard but moved it into the McCormick mansion in 1964 after refurbishing the building. The steps and pillars are marble, as is the mantel in the Louis Room, which was presented to McCormick when he was Ambassador to Italy by Victor Emannuel III, King of Italy. Adding to the fame of Chez Paul was the movie the The Blues Brothers, which included a scene in the main dining room. |
