We talk with Illinois chef Paul Fehribach, who’s out with a new book on Midwestern cuisine: what it is, where it came from, and how it’s influenced the American menu beyond our region. The book is Midwestern Food: A Chef’s Guide to the Surprising History of a Great American Cuisine, with More Than 100 Tasty Recipes.
A new book discusses how Midwestern food fits into the bigger picture of American culture.
On the 21st: What does Midwestern food mean to you? Maybe a Chicago hot dog, or a horseshoe? We hear from experts, chefs, and callers. But first, we look at student-run mental health clubs on college campuses, and how peers are supporting one another.
