Bob Chinn’s Will Live On, Even Without Bob Chinn - Eater Chicago
"Bob Chinn’s Crab House, located in Wheeling, has been a thriving family enterprise and one of the nation’s busiest and most profitable restaurants. Founded by Bob Chinn in 1982, it has become famous for its crab legs and mai tais. The restaurant has faced challenges, including a norovirus outbreak in 2012 and a sexual harassment lawsuit in 1995, but neither diminished its popularity. The restaurant is now run by Chinn's daughter Marilyn and granddaughters Carly and Maile Le Tourneau, who have introduced modern updates such as a reservation system and social media presence while maintaining the restaurant's traditions. In 2023, they plan to celebrate the restaurant’s 40th anniversary with themed events each month, emphasizing their dedication to continuing Chinn’s legacy." - aimee.levitt
