Olegario Garcia, baker at Gibsons since 1995
Garcia started at Gibsons when he was just 17. He worked as a dishwasher, but soon was promoted to doing prep work. And then to soups. And then to sauces. And, finally, in 1995, to desserts, where he’s been making Gibsons’ enormous cakes ever since. Last year, Garcia visited Gibsons sibling Luxbar to train those folks in perfecting pastries. But no matter how high up the ladder he climbs, he shows no signs of stopping. “This company has helped me grow to be a stronger person, a better person,” Garcia tells us (via a Spanish translator). “I’m going to stay as long as they want me.” 1028 N Rush St, 312-266-8999.

I HATEclicking on each restaurant --this is so tedious I won't be back--
I imagine that your advertisers buy space according to how many clicks you can FORCE your readers to go through to get anywhere...and that's why you have made this site impossible for your readers--better to find a less annoying way to increase revenue...
This site is RIDICULOUS!

You want a comment on the article? No can do. When I see I have to wade through at least 20 pages I just stopped at page one.
What are folks thinking? Have you no respect for those who visit your site?

Golly, the set-up of this article is painful and exceedingly user-unfriendly. A one-page list with links to details would be a lot more usable, as others have commented.

We live in the south suburbs and are looking for somewhere "new" to go to for our anniversary. What do you think of this restaurant, and is it worth the trip? Thank you. We are going tomorrow eve.

I agree that trying to read this article is the pits on this new site. Very slow to load, and that's especially annoying when there's only one paragraph per page. Big thumbs down.

The new beta site.. yuk! There isn't enough time in my life to view your articles one at a time. And I have a fast internet connection. On a smartphone forget about it. The search engine went from terrible to horrendous, and I was just getting started on figure it out.
