The Chicago Food Encyclopedia is a far-ranging portrait of an American culinary paradise. Hundreds of entries deliver all of the visionary restauranteurs, Michelin superstars, beloved haunts, and food companies of today and yesterday. More than 100 sumptuous images include thirty full-color photographs that transport readers to dining rooms and food stands across the city. Throughout, a roster of writers, scholars, and industry experts pays tribute to an expansive–and still expanding–food history that not only helped build Chicago but fed a growing nation. Pizza. Alinea. Wrigley Spearmint. Soul food. Rick Bayless. Hot Dogs. Koreatown. Everest. All served up A-Z, and all part of the ultimate reference on Chicago and its food.
Reviews
“The Chicago Food Encyclopedia is a treat for anyone who loves Chicago and loves food!”–Richard Melman, Founder and Chairman, Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises, Inc.
“That Chicago has developed a strong connection to small Midwest farms is perhaps its most undervalued asset. It’s this connection we have to the land that has allowed the city’s vibrant culinary community to establish itself on the international stage. This authoritative encyclopedia brings us closer to our city’s culinary past, present and future. In exhaustive fashion, it offers a story, and I’ve always said food with a story always tastes better. This is ours.”–Rick Bayless
“All the indispensably important information is here to be savored.”–Booklist
“Offers a thorough, alphabetical overview of the city’s food culture, from Chicago-centric dishes and drinks, to products and companies, restaurants, culinary trends, famous figures, and more.”–Chicago Tonight, WTTW
