Food Lovers' Guide to® Chicago: Best Local Specialties, Markets, Recipes, Restaurants & Events (Food Lovers' Series)
"Jennifer Olvera serves up the skinny on all things edible, sippable and growable in her new book. To that end, she's even pulled together a list of Chicago eats far more unusual than the expected hot dogs, deep-dish pizza and Italian beef."- Chicago Tribune"Food Lovers' Guide to Chicagois as comprehensive as eating guides get... You won't find Pupuseria el Salvador on 106th Street or old-school Vito and Nick's on South Pulaski in Fodor's... Thumbing through the book, even natives are bound to come across plenty of places, and foods, to add to their bucket list."- Chicago Sun-Times"Jennifer Olvera has done an admirable job cataloging the city's restaurants, cocktail haunts, brewpubs, wine bars, gourmet shops, farms, farmstands and cooking classes, fitting the breadth of Chicago's food world into a squat and reasonably portable 400-page tome."- Tasting Table"It offers an incredible wealth of information about hundreds of restaurant picks in just about every neighborhood... It also features helpful sections on speciality stores. That said, we most enjoyed the recipe section, which includes picks from some of the most respected chefs around town."- Grub Street"Olvera covers the high-high end as well as everyday corner haunts, leaving nary an ethnicity uncovered. She also dedicates a chapter to local farms and farmer's markets... cooking schools and cooking classes. But one of the more personal touches... is the inclusion of recipes from some of Chicago's most respected chefs."- Eater
