Interesting news about one of our Hall of Famers, the iconic Ariston Cafe in Litchfield, IL. After being operated for over 90 years by the same family, Nick and Demi Adam have sold the establishment to new owners, Marty and Kara Steffens. The Adams’ last day operating the restaurant will be June 30.
