Iconic Chicago Dishes, Drinks and Desserts
ARCADIA PUBLISHING, INC
The food that fuels hardworking Chicagoans needs to be hearty, portable, and inexpensive. Featuring select stories and recipes, author Amy Bizzarri surveys the delectable landscape of Chicago's homegrown culinary hits.
Enterprising locals transform standard fare into Chicago classics, including Spinning Salad, Flaming Saganaki, Jumpballs, Jim Shoes, Pizza Puffs, and Pullman Bread. The restaurants, bakeries, taverns, and pushcarts cherished from one generation to the next offer satisfying warmth in winter and sweet refreshments in summer. This timeless balancing act produced icons like the Cape Cod Room's Bookbinder Soup and the Original Rainbow Cone, as well as Andersonville Coffee Cake and Taylor Street's Italian Lemonade.
