A LITTLE EARLY SPRING CLEANING at Lawry’s The Prime Rib, Chicago unearthed a treasure from a dusty box in the McCormick Mansion attic: a poetic homage to Lawry’s, written on a napkin seventeen years ago by then eight-year-old Brittany Karno.
Restaurant Manager Shannon Tauschman tracked down the prime rib fan who remembers being “extremely hungry” that evening and penning the rhyme to occupy her time while she and her family waited for a table.
- Brittany in 1999.
- Brittany in 2016.
Thanks for the compliment, Brittany – and especially for the flattering comparison to your Barbie doll’s cooking!
