Every year as my wedding anniversary gets close (it’ll be 23 years on 9/16), I start reminiscing about our delicious wedding cake. For the life of me, though, I can’t remember the name of the bakery. Perhaps someone here can help.
Here is what I DO remember:
• It was a German or Austrian bakery that had been in business many years (this was 1989)
• It was on a major east-west street on the NW side of Chicago, perhaps Addison or Belmont, no more than a couple miles east of the Kennedy
• I’m 90% sure it was on the south side of the street
• It was next door to or a couple doors down from a video store that specialized in old movies and independent films. This video store also had a huge collection of old movie posters.
A friend of mine who knows the city fairly well believes I am thinking of Lutz Café on Montrose, but Lutz seems larger than what I am remembering. And Lutz is on the north side of the street.
Can anyone out there help jog my memory?
