Ann There is an article in the Heritage of Jefferson Co, AL book about a Greek restaurant called Bright Star. The name of the family is Koikos. Nobody named Chris is mentioned, though. Maybe just similar to what you're looking for but not the same family. The restaurant was founded in 1907 and is located in the same spot as then today -- 304 19th Street in Bessemer. Barry Jernigan
