Paddy Long’s, the Lakeview bar that’s served craft beer and bacon to customers since 2007, is the latest Chicago establishment to make a pandemic pizza pivot. After 14 years, ownership closed Paddy Long’s and replaced the pub with a new restaurant, a pizzeria called Max and Issy’s.

But it’s time for us to turn a new page,” co-owners Chris Latchford and Pat Berger write in a late April Facebook post. “We have revamped the space and the old bar is looking magnificent. We are very excited about this new chapter.”

Nearly a year ago, the COVID-19 pandemic forced many suburban restaurant owners to rethink the means by which they accomplish their mission.
With indoor dining banned in mid-March of last year and again for a time this fall many dining spots trumpeted their takeout and bolstered their delivery options.
Chicago chicken parmesan sandwiches are as memorable as a good slice of pizza

CHICAGO (WLS) There are several great sandwiches available in Chicago. The Italian beef and the Maxwell Street porkchop come to mind, but for our Hungry Hound, finding a good Chicken Parm is just as rewarding.
