How ‘The Bear’ Leaned on Chicago Restaurant Legend Donnie Madia and One Off Hospitality | Eater Chicago
"The first restaurant Madia opened in 1997 with help from a longtime mentor who loaned funds and introduced him to civic and business contacts; the partners repaid the loan and maintained a thirty-year friendship with their benefactor. The restaurant was ultimately shuttered in June 2020 during the pandemic, a decision described as difficult for the team." - Sam Nelson
