Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Slow Food is here again! From the eco-gastronomes wild brought you the best cuisine in New York comes "The Slow Food Guide to Chicago. Researched and written by a talented team of Chicago locals and Slow Food members, "The Slow Food Guide to Chicago is the most readable and discriminating guide to the city's diverse food scene. From the best cafes and take-out shops to farmer's markets and high-end restaurants, this book has something for every budget and every taste. The second in a series of fresh, alternative food guides to North American cities, "The Slow Food Guide to Chicago contains more than 500 entries chosen with the principles of Slow Food firmly in mind: conviviality, tradition, sustainability, and an emphasis on artisanal and homemade foods. Those restaurants and shops that go the extra mile (supporting local producers and using organic, regionally grown ingredients) have been honored with the coveted "Snail"--a symbol of the rapidly growing international Slow Food movement. Aimed at locals and visitors alike, this book contains more than 50 sections that reveal fascinating details of the city's culinary and human histories. From the German-speaking merchants of Lincoln Square to the Hispanic neighborhood of Pilsen, all of Chicago's ethnic and local food traditions are celebrated and explored. Review:"Think 'Chicago food' and the first things that come to mind might be fattening, greasy dishes: deep-dish pizza, hot dogs and sausages. But, according to slow foodies Gibson and Lowndes, Chicago is also home to a lush 'food landscape' that's keen on sustainable agriculture and local food traditions, a place with culinary artisans 'who practice their craft in much the same way their parents and grandparents did.' To that end, they give the nitty-gritty of the city's best eateries, specialty shops and drinking establishments. There are reviews of the best barbecue joints (places that smoke pork spareribs slowly over fragrant wood), Polish places (go to Halina's Polish Delights for borscht and blintzes that 'sing with flavor') and hot dog venues (such as Little Louie's in Northbrook, where, if you ask for ketchup on your dog, you 'just might get kicked out'). In addition to traditional Chicago food, the authors also discuss Mexican taquerias and haute cuisine meccas, notable dairy and cheese shops, and classic meat markets. Comprehensive, engaging and friendly, this is an indispensable book for visitors and locals." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.) Synopsis:Aimed at locals and visitors alike, this guide contains more than 50 sections that reveal fascinating details of Chicago's culinary and human histories of its diverse restaurants, markets, and bars, and explores the city's ethnic and local food traditions.
