Steak and lemonade shops began popping up in the southside of Chicago in the early 2000s thanks to the self-proclaimed inventor, Jordanian transplant Haitham Allabadi.
Upon immigrating to the States, Allabadi opened a restaurant in a southern Chicago suburb of Chicago with an eclectic menu, taking note that the two most ordered menu items were the steak sandwiches and lemonade-flavored slushie drink.
Garnering instant success around the local community, Baba's steak and lemonade shops debuted in the southside of Chicago in 2006, expanding to a city-wide chain with 19 locations.
Now, steak and lemonade is an iconic Midwest combo, with restaurants in Wisconsin, Ohio, and Indiana.
