Overview

A celebration of Chicago food that goes far beyond deep-dish pizza—filled with recipes, photos, and local history!
 
The food that fuels hardworking Chicagoans includes such local classics as Spinning Salad, Flaming Saganaki, Jumpballs, Jim Shoes, Pizza Puffs, and Pullman Bread. The restaurants, bakeries, taverns, and pushcarts of the city, cherished from one generation to the next, offer satisfying warmth in winter and sweet refreshment in summer.
