The City of Chicago proclaimed Friday, August 17, 2007, as Charlie Trotter Day - in recognition and celebration of Charlie Trotter's 20th anniversary.
Twenty years ago today, Charlie opened his restaurant at 816 W. Armitage when Lincoln Park was not the mecca neighborhood it is today. Now, Charlie Trotter's is a focal point of Lincoln Park and envy of the culinary world.
Congratulations, Charlie, and here's to 20 more!
Happy Eating! Mr. Foodie
