ABSOLUTELY NO truth to
the very far-fetched rumor that
Ron Forman has sold the Bread
Basket Deli in Oak Park's Lincoln
Center ... and is working for the
supposed new owners.
Fact is that he plans to celebrate
his 30th anniversary in Novem-
ber of 1999.
Rumor probably got started be-
cause of the help shortage ... and
Ron having to reset his hours at
the Bread Basket ... which some
folks might have thought was
done by the phantom new owners.
It is still open Tuesday through
Saturday, 10 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., and
Sunday 10 to 8 ... But Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday, dining
room service closes at 5 p.m. ...
open only for carry-out ... But this
doesn't mean folks can't go to the
counter, get whatever they want
and sit down to eat.
Just no servers on these days ...
A fellow walks around, though,
and fills coffee mugs.
THE PLACE rocked ... Danc-
ing was on two dance floors as
tuxedoed guys and fine-gowned
gals let their hair down to terpsi
with much zest.
