The document here is a 2020 Curious City feature by Monica Eng for WBEZ, which reconstructs Chicago restaurant life from roughly 1885 to 1920 using archival menus, newspaper clippings, and interviews with food historians. It is a secondary source, not a primary one, and that matters for what follows. But it is dated, it is specific, and it contains a passage that functions like a ledger entry: a Clark Street saloon owner, quoted through the Tribune in 1913, explaining why he closed. “Some of those hobos spend a nickel for a glass of beer and eat 20 cents worth of liver,” he said. “Do you get me? That’s why I had to close up.” That sentence is the whole argument in miniature. The free lunch was not charity and it was not hospitality in any sentimental sens
