Today. five of Schaller's children continue to run the business, making it the fourth generation. Jack mostly just "holds court."
The food, of course, is great. The writer ordered the special butt steak sandwich, describing it as "a balled fist of broiled top sirloin, perched on a single piece of toast and french fries. A.1. steak sauce is requisite." There was a photo of it ad I'm getting hungry just looking at it. Back in the 1960s, the Chicago Dail News declared Schaller's burgers one of the ten best in the city.
Jack Schaller told me one more story. Back in the day, he used to break up fights between kinfolks over nothing in particular. The next night the two adversaries would be back having beers again, hunched over the same stools as if nothing had happened. In essence, the place is a second home for Bridgeport residents.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
