podcast-paul-sianis

This week, Shawn Anderson and Lou Olsen talk with Paul Sianis, one of the co-owners of Chicago’s famed Billy Goat Tavern.

Founded in 1934 and still going strong today, Paul tells the boys the history of his family’s restaurant, being immortalized by “Saturday Night Live” and, of course, a certain curse from 1945.
