"Former employees at Parlor Pizza Bar, a local chain with locations in West Loop, Wicker Park, and River North, say management would segregate its dining rooms by race, seating BIPOC customers in what was called the ‘rejection section’ in the back of the restaurant, reserving the more desirable tables in the front near the window for young white professionals who more closely fulfilled the image Parlor’s owners had of the restaurant’s ideal customer." - aimee.levitt
