The neighborhoods that make up Chicago's rich cultural landscape
have been defined by the restaurants that anchor them. In Local
Flavor, the popular food writer Jean Iversen chronicles eight
beloved local eateries, from Chinatown on the South Side to Rogers
Park in the far North, tracing the story of how they became
neighborhood institutions. Iversen has meticulously gathered the
tales, recipes, and cultural traditions that define Chicago's
culinary past and present. Rich with firsthand accounts from local
restaurateurs, their families, long-time customers, and staff,
Local Flavor is a community-driven look at Chicago through a
gastronomical lens. Including recipes for popular dishes from each
restaurant that readers can try at home, Local Flavor weaves
together ethnography, family, and food history into a story that
will enthrall both food and Chicago history lovers.
