Recensioner i media

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. ""The Hungry Hound"", Food Reporter for ABC 7
