RARE Weber Grill Restaurant Video (1997?)

[Benny Gilbert]

Found this old video today of the Weber Grill Restaurant from likely 1997ish. The weird thing is though that the grill used is NOT the Stainless Ranch Kettle that we know, rather, it almost looks like a Stainless 26 inch kettle, maybe even 30 inch? Hard to tell. Anyway, pretty cool little piece of Weber history here that I thought should be shared but wasn't sure where to put it. Enjoy!

Wife and I ate at that place. I remember noticing the kitchen was all enormous Ranch Kettles equipped with VERY thick (I think) stainless steel bar grates, that were hinged to add charcoal. And the kettles weren't stainless, they were plain black just with what appeared to be non stock grates

I remember back in 08 two of those popped up on Chicago Craigslist for a steal of a deal.
Add was gone in minutes.
