An Exclusive View Inside Chicago’s New Saved by the Bell-Themed Diner

SAVED BY THE BELL, Top Row: Ed Alonzo, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Elizabeth Berkley, Mario Lopez, Bottom Row: Lark Voorhies, Tiifani-Amber Thiessen, Dennis Haskins, Dustin Diamond, Season 1, 1989-1993 (c)NBC / Courtesy: Everett Collection.

Actor and magician Ed Alonzo, who played diner owner Max, got in on the fun by appearing during opening week at the pop-up diner to entertain the guests, along with other local actors who dressed as your favorite characters to heighten the experience.

Luckily for you, we happen to know some of those actors and were able to acquire some kickass pictures from the event that you won’t see anywhere else.

You’re welcome.

“Unfortunately, I don’t think there’ll ever be like a ‘Saved by the Bell’ television special reunion. I think this is as close as I’ll get to it,” Alonzo said. “This is better than the original Max that we used to shoot the show on over at NBC.” Currently, the restaurant is only slated to operate through August 31st, but the owners are open to running it longer, should the high level of interest continue.

That means you need to get yourself there, because when it closes, it will be a sad day indeed.
