Made in Chicago: Stories Behind 30 Great Hometown Bites by Monica Eng, David Hammond

adventurous informative medium-paced

5.0

Foodies, this one's for you! I'm from Chicago, although I've lived abroad for several years, and this was a delicious way to "visit" one of my favorite places. Eng and Hammond walk you through 30 of Chicago's quintessential foods. Some you'll likely know, like the famous Italian Beef, Maxwell Street Polish, or Giardiniera. Others were completely new to me, like Akutagawa, the Mother-in-Law, and Taffy Grapes, but now I know what I'm eating next time I'm in town! Each chapter includes the history of the food, where you can eat it in Chicago, and a recipe so you can create it at home. Highly recommend!
