The building at Ohio and Wabash is where Chicago deep dish is dated to, in December 1943, and the restaurant still operates on the site as a historic landmark. Who actually created the recipe is genuinely contested rather than settled, and that dispute is itself part of what a record about this address should carry rather than smooth over.
