This purse-sized guidebook to Chicago's Bring-Your-Own-Bottle restaurants has been newly updated and expanded to include BYOBs in the Chicago suburbs, restaurants with a liquor license that allow customers to BYOB for a corkage fee of $10 or less, and off-the-beaten path BYOB options such as local theaters.
Focusing on the culinary scene, this book explores eight cherished Chicago restaurants that have become integral to their neighborhoods. Through the lens of food writer Jean Iversen, readers will discover the unique histories and cultural significance of these eateries, spanning from Chinatown to Rogers Park. The narrative highlights how these establishments not only serve food but also shape the community's identity and foster local connections.
