Three years ago, The Back 9 was born over late-night hot dogs and cheese fries at Chicago's legendary Wiener's Circle. This week, we sit down with one of the guys who owns it.
Investor and restaurant owner Ari Levy talks about preserving—and reinventing—a Chicago institution famous for its irreverence, and how the Wiener's Circle became part of the conversation around the Bears last season with viral stunts involving Ben Johnson, Caleb Williams and more.
Then we make the turn. After two divorces, Ari opens up about therapy, fatherhood, taking better care of himself, and finding an unexpected relationship with one of his closest friends from college. It's a conversation about what experience teaches us to value in a partner—and why friendship, shared values and simply enjoying each other's company may matter a whole lot more the next time around.
