Fra Noi Embrace Your Inner Italian
Buona Beef recently opened for business at 804 W. Washington Blvd., bringing the family-run fast-food chain’s total locations to 24. “We’re thrilled to be a part of the vibrant West Loop community,” says second-generation owner Joe Buonavolanto Jr. “Our new location is steeped in Chicago tradition: a fitting way to continue the city’s great Italian beef tradition.” Founder Joe Buonavolanto Sr. took out a second mortgage on his home to open the family’s first restaurant in Berwyn in 1981. Today, Buona is the official Italian beef of the Chicago Cubs and White Sox and is served at Cubs, Sox and Chicago Bears home games. (buona.com)
