A Message from Team PB >

Wow. As local small business owners, we certainly learned yesterday that change is hard. We launched a new menu in all 4 of our locations and over the weekend remodeled our original Franklin location. Though it’s only been one day, we’ve heard some feedback from customers and we’d like to address it.

2011 Person of the Year: You…Our Customer! >

This past year was marked globally by Occupy protests, royal weddings, and ubiquitous social networking. Locally here in Chicago, we elected a new mayor for the first time since 1989, survived a “Snowpocalypse”, and suffered through year 103 of Cubs futility.
