Book Description
Chicago began as a frontier town on the edge of white settlement and as the product of removal of culturally rich and diverse indigenous populations. The town grew into a place of speculation with the planned building of the Illinois and Michigan canal, a boomtown, and finally a mature city of immigrants from both overseas and elsewhere in the US. In this environment, cultures mixed, first at the taverns around Wolf Point, where the forks of the Chicago River join, and later at the jazz and other clubs along the “Stroll” in the black belt, and in the storefront ethnic restaurants of today. Chicago was the place where the transcontinental railroads from the West and the “trunk” roads from the East met. Many downtown restaurants catered specifically to passengers transferring from train to train between one of the five major downtown railroad stations. This also led to “destination” restaurants, where Hollywood stars and their onlookers would dine during overnight layovers between trains. At the same time, Chicago became the candy capital of the US and a leading city for national conventions, catering to the many participants looking for a great steak and atmosphere. Beyond hosting conventions and commerce, Chicagoans also simply needed to eat—safely and relatively cheaply. Chicago grew amazingly fast, becoming the second largest city in the US in 1890. Chicago itself and its immediate surrounding area was also the site of agriculture, both producing food for the city and for shipment elsewhere. Within the city, industrial food manufacturers prospered, highlighted by the meat processors at the Chicago stockyards, but also including candy makers such as Brach’s and Curtiss, and companies such as Kraft Foods. At the same time, large markets for local consumption emerged. The food biography of Chicago is a story of not just culture, economics, and innovation, but also a history of regulation and regulators, as they protected Chicago’s food supply and built Chicago into a city where people not only come to eat, but where locals rely on the availability of safe food and water. With vivid details and stories of local restaurants and food, Block and Rosing reveal Chicago to be one of the foremost eating destinations in the country.

Book Description
Are there any cities more famous for their food than Chicago, Illinois? Not in the United States, most likely. Can you bring the taste of the Windy City to your home? Yes, you can! Chicago is an epicenter for gourmet dining, but they have many local specialties that are not gourmet foods. The recipes in this cookbook will give you a taste of the culinary staples available in Chicago. From the Chicago-style hot dog to the city's famous deep-dish pizza, their restaurant AND street food is hard to beat! Chicago's deep-dish pizzas eschew delicate toppings and thin crust. This is a hearty pizza, baked in a very deep pan and filled to the top with cheese, and whatever other ingredients you ask for. You can't leave the city without trying a Chicago hot dog, either. They were first served in the Great Depression. It's an all-beef dog, on a poppy seed bun and topped with hot peppers, pickle spears, chopped onions, tomato wedges, relish and yellow mustard. They even have a jumbo version available in some restaurants and street stalls. Chicago is also famous for its Italian Beef. The thin slices of specially-seasoned roast beef bursts from long Italian rolls and is dripping with au jus. You can get it with sweet peppers or hot - REALLY hot - with giardiniera peppers. Try making some of the Windy City's treats today!
