Medha Imam: Layers and layers of cinnamon

And its cinnamon rolls have kept customers

coming through its doors for almost 80 years.

Customer: Best thing on the menu has gotta be

Customers: These are absolutely excellent.

but people in Chicago have been coming here

how has this mom-and-pop shop stood the test of time?

Step into Ann Sather's and you instantly feel at home,

and, of course, the scent of its delectable cinnamon rolls.

Tom: How can no one not have an Ann Sather cinnamon roll,

Featured on "Rachael Ray" and Food Network,

Ann Sather's gooey, made-from-scratch creations

prepares about 60 cinnamon rolls per tray

Tom: And you know what? I still eat them.

OK, so you say, "Oh, you must be sick of them."

Well, I'll go for a period and not eat them,

and then all of a sudden I'll have four in a day. [laughs]

In 1981, Ann Sather, the restaurant's founder,

was looking for a successor who would continue

serving homemade Swedish and Scandinavian recipes

The two hit it off, Ann sold the restaurant to Tom,

from cooking to cleaning tables to serving,

Tom: Ann's was this oasis, they used to call it.

It was a place where families could come,

The cinnamon roll is a 75-year tradition of Ann Sather's.

It's when we incorporated the cinnamon roll

into the breakfast menu that it took off on wildfire.

Medha: According to Tom, the recipe behind

the belly-warming Chicago breakfast staple

Tom: The base of the cinnamon roll is a yeast product.

we have a dry mix that's made specifically for us

Tom: No, it's a very complex little formula

actually start off as that special dry mix,

which is combined with lukewarm water and yeast.

Tom: The yeast product needs to rise and fall,

which is what makes it gooey and delicious.

Medha: And so, the ingredients that you can tell us?
