Chris Person started his career working Saturday mornings at his mother's restaurant Adrian's. He worked at the restaurant until 1984 when he left Adrian's and went to manage the Corner Malt Shop in downtown Mankato. In 1988 Chris and brother, Patrick, remodeled the old Stone Toad on Madison Avenue and opened the legendary Tav on the Ave. The Tav was the first tavern to serve Buffalo wings. Today they have sold over 5 million! In February 2007 the Tav closed for one week and remodeled to make Tav on the Ave Mankato's elite tavern.
