Once considered a city simply of steakhouses and deep-dish pizza joints,
Chicago has morphed into a vibrant and rich collection of
second-generation, energetic chefs seeking to forge strong relationships
with local producers and the diners they look to inspire. Master Chef
Rick Bayless, Stephanie Izard of Girl & the Goat, Tony Mantuano of
Spiaggia, and Paul Kahan with his slew of award-winning restaurants are
just a few of the top chefs making headlines not only in Chicago's food
pubs but also nationwide. The Chicago Chef's Table gathers Chicago's
best chefs and restaurants under one cover. Profiling over 60 signature
"at home" recipes from some of Chicago's beloved dining establishments.
The book is a celebration of Chicago itself and its modern Midwestern
cuisine.
