A 150-square foot former White Castle at Cermak and Wabash may be granted landmark status, according to an article in today's Sun-Times. The restaurant has been a gourmet chicken shack for close to 30 years, but owner Dave Gupta (who used to send us press releases for his restaurant as "Chef Luciano") and his son Rocky have restored the building on the southeast corner of the intersection to its full architectural glory. The Commission on Chicago Landmarks proposed the designation earlier this month and the Guptas are in full support of the move.
