Michael Jordan's Restaurant was a multi-level restaurant and sports bar located at 500 N. LaSalle Street in Chicago, Illinois, United States of America. Named after Michael Jordan, a basketball player with the Chicago Bulls, the restaurant was once one of the most popular tourist spots in Chicago. It operated from 1993 until 1999, closing shortly after Jordan's second retirement. ==Menu and attractions== Michael Jordan's Restaurant billed itself as "sporty and casual",〔Zay N. Smith. "Jordan Shows He Really Is A Meal Ticket For the Bulls". ''Chicago Sun-Times''. 1993-04-29.〕 with an American menu. Dishes included steak, sole, pasta, hamburgers, ribs, chicken, pork chops, and salads, along with "Juanita's Macaroni and Cheese", which was based on a recipe from Jordan's wife.〔〔Allan Johnson. "Eating Like Mike". ''Chicago Tribune''. 1993-04-29.〕 The restaurant was housed in a three-story red brick building,〔 which had formerly served as part of a cable car powerhouse.〔Sandy Parlin. "(Bus Routes: An Evolution That Would Make Ralph Kramden Proud )". ''Chicago Tribune''. 1997-10-26. Retrieved on 2011-11-29.〕 The building was adorned with a 25-foot (7.6-m) high cutout basketball on its roof and a 30-by-30 foot (9.1-by-9.1 m) banner of Michael Jordan. The first floor comprised a 150-person capacity sports bar, a 6-by-20-foot (1.8-by-6.1-m) video wall, and a gift shop that sold a large variety of Jordan merchandise, including licensed apparel and collectibles custom made for the restaurant by companies such as Nike and Wilson Sporting Goods. It also contained a large collection of Michael Jordan memorabilia, such as jerseys, trophies, shoes, photographs, ''Sports Illustrated'' magazine covers, and children's drawings of the basketball star. The 200-seat main dining room, which featured a portrait of Jordan by Chicago artist Ed Paschke, was on the second floor. The Jordan family had their own private room on the second floor, and the restaurant staff said that Jordan visited as often as three times a week. The third floor of the building was a meeting and banquet hall.〔〔Eleanor Lee Yates. "Dinner with Michael. ''The Fayetteville Observer''. 1993-07-28.〕 The design firm Zakaspace worked on the restaurant.〔David Altaner. "Just like old times: Restaurant design firm finds success in making something new, something old". ''Sun Sentinel''. 1993-11-19.〕 Michael Jordan's received mixed reviews from critics. Eleanor Lee Yates of the ''Fayetteville Observer'' said the restaurant was "a pleasant surprise",〔Eleanor Lee Yates. "Food A Pleasant Surprise". ''The Fayetteville Observer''. 1993-07-28.〕 while Sandra Kallio of the ''Wisconsin State Journal'' praised it for "excellent food, superb staff and relaxing atmosphere".〔Sandra Kallio.
