| Notes |
- Here's a great story we hope is true: one night in the 1910s, a young m a n took a date out for dinner at Gage & Tollner and forgot his wallet. M or tified, he approached the kindly manager and asked if he could retur n t o pay tomorrow, and leave his gold watch as collateral.
"Keep it," Mr. Gage said, as he handed back the timepiece. "'You will ne e d it to know when to go home. Besides, it may surprise you to know th a t I kissed your sweetheart before you ever did. Her dad used to bring h e r in here when she was just a little tot'... From then on, the restaura n t had two more steady customers," according to Edgar Gibbs in the Bever ag e Retailer Weekly.
The young man was Seth Bradford "Brad" Dewey, whose father, Hiram S. Dew e y, had made a small fortune in the restaurant and wine business. Afte r Mr . Gage died in 1919, Brad Dewey (backed by his father) bought Gag e & Toll ner from Mr. Cunningham, under the condition that he make no sig nifican t changes to the building or the business.
Brad Dewey managed Gage & Tollner for almost 20 years (including the 1 3 y ears of Prohibition, a true trial for a restaurateur from a wine busi nes s family) until he died in 1938. "Mr. Dewey deserves to be remembere d b y all hearty and discriminating eaters," wrote the editors of the Her ald - Tribune. "He was not impressed by modern furniture, tearoom fripper y, s trange dietary fads, machine-age gadgets or pretty 'hostesses.'.. [G ag e & Tollner is] still carrying on for the pleasure of men and women wh o o ccasionally feel the unashamed pangs of an honest hunger and (or) thi rst. .. may they remain staunch in the faith!"
