Chapter 1 of my book in Chicago magazine

If you want to read an actual physical magazine article about my book, Chicago mag’s issue with the first chapter (about Louis Szathmary) is on newsstands now. Go here to read it online.

I was guiltily on Car Con Carne with James Van Osdol. I say “guiltily” because I got to know James appearing on WGN Radio when he’d sub for whoever late at night to talk about my latest Thrillist list of Italian beef or whatever. Now I’m Mister Fancy Pants Fine Dining! We talked a bit about that parked outside Sun Wah; go here, or check your podcast app.

Then I was on WGN Radio’s morning show with Bob Sirott during their weekly food segment. Go here to hear it. I also had an appearance with Dane Neal, but it’s apparently not online.

I was on WGN TV—watch it here.

Monica Eng, who’s in the book, did a piece at Axios here.

I gave a talk on Zoom for Culinary Historians of Chicago/Greater Midwest Foodways, hosted by Scott Warner and Cathy Lambrecht, both of whom are in the book. Watch it on YouTube here, or audio-only in your podcast app.

Finally (for now), I appeared on my own vintage movie podcast, talking with David Hammond about my book. Which is not about old movies, obviously, but I did manage to connect the two subjects a couple of times.
