For reasons best known
to himself, ex-White Sox great Frank Thomas has opened up a place some four
blocks from our house. When people think
of Berwyn, it’s more on account of the bungalows than the craft brews or
nightlife. But The Big Hurt Brewhouse
was where the birthday girl wanted to go and eat.
Her boyfriend Chris
proved his worth by checking on the Big Hurt’s whereabouts; yes, he would be at
the restaurant when we arrived. In fact,
he didn’t even have to be asked to have his picture taken with Clare. Thanks to Twitter and Facebook, that shot of
The Hurts, Big and Little, has gone micro-viral. Thomas is a celebrity who didn’t have to be
bothered; in fact, he acted as if it were no bother at all. With that kind of attention to his patrons,
Thomas may become a restaurateur on a par with Stan Musial. At least I hope so.
