"... for those who truly want to taste the flavors of Chicago, Iversen's book would rank pretty high, in my opinion." -- Forbes "Long before there were tasting menus and molecular gastronomy, there were old-school Chicago restaurants, and Jean Iversen does them proud in her book. Anyone who cherishes Chicago's rich multicultural history will enjoy this book. It's a love letter to Chicago told through food." --Jan Parr, Crain's Chicago Business, "Long before there were tasting menus and molecular gastronomy, there were old-school Chicago restaurants, and Jean Iversen does them proud in her book. Anyone who cherishes Chicago's rich multicultural history will enjoy this book. It's a love letter to Chicago told through food." --Jan Parr, Crain's Chicago Business, "Long before there were tasting menus and molecular gastronomy, there were old-school Chicago restaurants, and Jean Iversen does them proud in her book. Anyone who cherishes Chicago's rich multicultural history will enjoy this book. It's a love letter to Chicago told through food." --Jan Parr, managing editor, Crain's Chicago Business, "This well-researched and fascinating paean to Chicago's 'ethnic cuisine' profiles the proprietors and founders of eight iconic Chicago restaurants. But it's more than a tour of Chicago's vibrant restaurant sce≠it's a history of American immigration and the enormous and beneficial impact immigrants have had on our culinary culture." --Colleen Taylor Sen, author of Feasts and Fasts: A History of Food in India and coeditor of The Chicago Food Encyclopedia, " Local Flavor is a love letter to some of Chicago's legendary restaurants; profiling half a dozen places that have been in business for at least 20 years. Some, like Tufano's Vernon Park Tap, have been chugging away for more than 80 years--a remarkable achievement for any business. Beginning in Chinatown, at Won Kow, and weaving through the city's neighborhoods, Iversen sits down with the owners, matriarchs, founders and other key personnel, and details their family history. This book gave me a much better idea of how these immigration waves created the neighborhoods as they are today--a key part of the Chicago experience. This would be a perfect gift for anyone who loves this city and its many neighborhoods as much as I do, and has made each of these places a part of their lives over the years." --Steve Dolinsky, a.k.a.

Was sent the wrong item. I ordered a CD and I received an LP instead. Two different places on the description said that it was a used CD in good condition. When I emailed the seller about it I got a generic reply telling me that they would get to it when they can and that if I send a second message it will just delay the process. That is terrible customer service. If they have time to send me an email message at all then they have time to initiate a refund or to answer the question I asked.

The book arrived in a plastic envelope with not protection and unfortunately it looked like the book was damaged in transit because of it. The items original ETA was April 18th but arrived on April 22nd. I requested a refund after seeing the quality of the book and the seller responded with a full refund and an apology for the quality. I really appreciated the customer service but was sad to see the book not in the quality described.

My sincere apologies, the item was not what I expected, (to NO FAULT of the SELLER at all.) It came in good condition however, I must’ve of misunderstood the description, I thought the names would be transliterated into English, but it's in Hebrew. I thought it would give the Hebrew meaning to the name/ places. Also I noticed that the dust jacket was different than the advertised photo. If I may, I'd like to request a refund please and continue my search... Kind regards.
