Grand Lux Cafe Chicago: A Fond Farewell
So, Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Goodbye
Who would have thought that a place known for its decadent desserts and over-the-top ambiance would meet its end? But alas, our beloved Grand Lux Cafe on Chicago's Magnificent Mile is closing its doors for good. After a glorious 21-year run, serving up everything from towering stacks of pancakes to lobster mac and cheese, it's time to say adieu to this culinary giant.
The End of an Era
It's like that time your favorite TV show got canceled, but instead of fictional characters, it's your go-to spot for brunch, date night, or just a plain old sugar rush. Heartbroken emoji But fear not, fellow food lovers, all is not lost. While the Chicago location is shutting down, there are still plenty of Grand Lux Cafes out there to satisfy your cravings. Just don't expect the same level of drama when ordering a side of fries.
