Klas Restaurant in Chicago

Just found out that the largest Czech Restaurant in US is in Chicago and is the Klas Restaurant! I will be contacting them to see if we can establish whether there are relatives connected with the restaurant. This bit of luck came from finding a small cream pitcher in an antique store with a picture that looked Czech and the inscription Klas. I tracked down the origin of the pitcher to the Schammel Pottery in Trenton, NJ that closed in 1954, and made pottery for restaurants. Fortunately, the restaurant is not only still in business, but thriving! I'll certainly be putting this on my "want to visit" list.

Here's the website for the restaurant: http:klasrestaurant.com The "About Klas" link gives some history of the restaurant.
