About the Series
The great city of Chicago blends strong ethnic traditions with urban sophistication and style. A "baker's dozen" of Chicago restaurants and chefs sample the city's cuisine. Among the chefs are Jean Banchet, Gabino Sotelino, Pierre Pollin, Jackie Chen, and Fernand Gutierrez. Classic dishes like Saddle of Lamb with Filet of Beef share the program with Chocolate and Bourbon Pecan Cake and Jean Banchet's Raspberry Feuillete. The Charlie Byrd Trio provides the music.
