Lost Restaurant of Chicago
Book information
Description
A Chicago author's tribute to the historic eateries and storied local haunts that the Windy City has loved and lost. Many of Chicago's greatest or most unusual restaurants are "no longer taking reservations." But even if they're gone, they're definitely not forgotten. From steakhouses to delis, these dining destinations attracted movie stars, fed the hungry, launched nationwide trends and launched a smorgasbord of culinary innovations. Stretching across almost two centuries of memorable service and adventurous menus, Lost Restaurants of Chicago revisits the institutions entrusted with the city's special occasions. Noted author Greg Borzo dishes out course after course of fondly remembered fare, from Maxim's to Charlie Trotter's and Trader Vic's to the Blackhawk.
