As the man behind The Fooditor, Michael Gebert talks to chefs about what they do, he reviews, he comments and he documents his meals, like we all do, taking pictures and offering his opinions. Unlike most writers in Chicago, he actually goes deep into the neighborhoods – which is why Rick and Steve get along with him so well. His new book out, The Fooditor 99, chronicles some of this beloved city’s best eats, from high to low. On this week’s show, we discuss some of Chicago’s greatest ethnic eats with a guy who eats out as much as we do, exploring pretty much every nook and cranny of the city’s 77 neighborhoods. |
