And maybe its fair to explain why.

Here you have a recently divorced guy that is struggling with his relationships and his place in the world. Young daughter, relationship struggles, his best friend just died and now his world has been upended further with his rock - Chicago Beef - now being completely taken over and renovated, etc. He's got nothing and even that's getting shaky.

And he finally finds his place/purpose and his talent, in his suit, in this place, in the pursuit of excellence. And it all culminates in this single act - bringing a commitment to excellence, above and beyond service, deep commitment and a little piece of Chicago - the place he loves - to these tourists who didn't get a chance to try deep dish while they were in town.

I understand if, as a Chicagoan, they got the details wrong and that could be frustrating. If it had been about Austin and barbecue, I'd probably feel the same. But I was inspired.
