New Danville restaurant to feature Chicago-style beef, gyros
DANVILLE – A local businessman has decided to bring a little taste of Chicago downstate by opening a new restaurant on East Main Street.
By the end of the month, Jim Abed of Danville hopes to open Baba's Firehouse restaurant at 610 E. Main St. in Danville. Patterned after some restaurants in Chicago, where Abed had a restaurant for five years, the Firehouse restaurant will serve Chicago-style steaks, gyros, fish and chicken.
