When John and Tony Badway shook hands on the deal that created their West Chicago restaurant, they knew making it successful wouldn't happen overnight -- even though crowds filled the place practically from Day One. It's one thing for curiosity seekers to check out the latest dining hotspot ... but how do you keep them coming back for more?
In a throwback to the time when a pre-teenage Tony first carried groceries in from the car for his pop, today the father and son go out on frequent runs for the fresh produce, meats and kitchen necessities that make their restaurant hum. Sure, they could leave it up to one of their trusted employees. But for John and Tony, it's about going that extra mile to make sure their guests get the best. You can rest assured that when they're out on another grocery run, they're inspecting every tomato and slice of steak as though they were buying it for their own dinner tables at home. That kind of attention to culinary detail has gone a long way toward putting John & Tony's on the West Suburban dining map.
So make sure that the next time you stop in to visit, ask the Badways how their last shopping trip went. They'll be happy to tell you all about the fresh finds that'll light up the menu on the night of your special occasion. And who knows? If you're really nice, maybe Tony will help you with your grocery bags sometime.
