In the series finale, ‘The Original Beef of Chicagoland,’ Ebra once again calls the restaurant consultant to ask about expanding into a franchise. During the call, the cook says, “Albert, we are in business.” As a response, he states, according to People Magazine, “It’s perfect. I will have all the documents, email it to you immediately.
