URBANA, Ill. (WCIA) — Governor JB Pritzker had a busy day on Thursday but still took some time to hang out with the Democratic primary winner in the race for Urbana Mayor and eat at one of his favorite restaurants.
When Pritzker wrapped up his stop at Centennial High School, he went over to Baldarotta’s for lunch with DeShawn Williams.
Jordan Baldarotta, the owner, said they were given a heads up by Williams, and gave the governor his own private space. He said having someone with as much importance as Pritzker coming to try their food was a great experience.
"We’ve been doing this a long time and [to] have somebody of that high-profile come in and eat your food and that you share with the community that you grew up with and grew up in," Baldarotta said. "It’s amazing what he ordered at the Guido. It was recommended by DeShawn because that’s where he gets a lot when he gets in here. But I couldn’t let him leave without trying our porketta."
Baldarotta said Pritzker is the most well-known person he’s ever served.
