Alderman Tom Tunney’s Ann Sather restaurant faces $10,500 in Fines | Eater Chicago

"A popular breakfast restaurant near Belmont and Clark, Ann Sather is a longtime Lakeview fixture known for its Swedish breakfasts; the article notes it's been open for 75 years and also says it has operated since 1945. The city cited Ann Sather twice for serving customers indoors and ignoring the state's COVID-19 indoor dining ban instituted on October 30, and the restaurant faces a maximum combined fine of $10,500 (one citation could result in $10,000 and the other up to $500), with the exact amount to be determined at a future administrative hearing. Owner Ald. Tom Tunney, whose ward includes Wrigleyville and Lakeview and who is a former chair of the Illinois Restaurant Association, admitted to serving regular customers indoors after photos of patrons eating inside appeared in a blog post, promised staff would cease dining room service, and said staff required social distancing for customers." - Ashok Selvam
