R.J. Grunts Chicago Restaurant Retro '70s Ad Campaign

RJ Grunts AdThe venerable Chicago restaurant, R.J. Grunts, uses a picture of me as a child in one of their new 70s-themed advertisements.

The image used in the ad was taken in the early 1970s. I was attending the circus with my aunt, uncle, and younger brother. My brother, wearing the same Chicago hi-fashion couture as me, is cropped out of the photograph.

Hey, don't I at least deserve a free burger for my embarrassment, R.J.?
