Nick's intro[]
George Washington Gale Ferris Jr.: an obscure name, but his invention is a household one - the rotating cylindrical amusement known as the Ferris Wheel. A civil engineer by trade who dreamed of an attraction that would tower over Gustave Eiffel's similarly-eponymous Eiffel Tower, Ferris assembled enough investors to debut his invention at the 1893 World's Fair in the Chicago neighborhood of Lincoln Park*.
the original Ferris Wheel
Not to be confused with the band, Lincoln Park is one of the oldest and most well-known sections of the Windy City and the Ferris Wheel became one of its most well-known sons; as did another Lincoln Park institution founded over 80 years later, a sandwich shop that originated within an antique store.
In 1977, the owner of said store, Peter Hastings, in a bid to boost his retail business, had the idea to serve sandwiches toasted in an antique stove as a way to entice and entrance customers. But the sandwiches proved more popular than his antique wares, drawing crowds lined up to nibble on his warm filled rolls.
And in 1997, entrepreneur Bryant Keil purchased the concept, growing the single location into a chain, though keeping the antique stoves as a signature trait.
Today, with nearly 500 locations, this sub shop that boasts a secret menu that rivals SoCal's beloved In-N-Out and that anomalously serves both Coca-Cola and Pepsi, has proved to have a fantastical following in the Second City and beyond.
George Washington Gale Ferris Jr. died in obscurity of typhoid just two years after his wheel's spectacular debut, impoverished due to litigation over its profits, but today, Lincoln Park's own Ferris Wheel remains in the public consciousness, along with its sandwich-shop neighbor named for another antiquated invention, the potbelly stove.
This week on Doughboys: Potbelly Sandwich Shop.
