Lost Restaurants of Chicago - Hardcover
Many of Chicago's greatest or most unusual restaurants are "no longer taking reservations," but they're definitely not forgotten. From steakhouses to delis, these dining destinations attracted movie stars, fed the hungry, launched nationwide trends and created a smorgasbord of culinary choices. Stretching across almost two centuries of memorable service and adventurous menus, this book 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.

Review:
"""Greg Borzo, a prolific writer and historian, has gathered dozens of bygone eateries in a new and quite satisfying book titled "Lost Restaurants of Chicago" (The History Press). It offers, pardon the word but none other seems appropriate, a feast of memories.
The good thing about having a guy like Borzo compile such a book is his enthusiasm and passion.
The book is peppered with photos and neatly organized into 12 chapters, covering such areas as Ethnic Eateries, Sizzling Steakhouses and African American Restaurants.
I have no doubt that most readers will find personal connections. And good memories. "" Chicago Tribune"
