Fwd: Berghoff quietly reopens

THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE Berghoff quietly reopens The Associated Press April 19, 2006, 6:47 AM CDT Downtown Chicago's historic Berghoff restaurant is back. More or less. The new Berghoff Cafe opened quietly Tuesday, serving the same menu of German favorites as the 107-year-old restaurant that closed in February. Some customers say what's missing is many of the restaurant's longtime unionized workers. Some of the old employees were rehired at the downstairs cafe. But customers say others are missing. The old Berghoff had been one of the only Chicago restaurants to still employ union cooks and servers. Berghoff owner Carlyn Berghoff said she will reopen the upstairs bar area of the restaurant with a new name and reworked menu in May. Copyright © 2006, Chicago Tribune
