Foodways of the Great Depression
Alas this event is now history. Fortunately our partners at Chicago Public Radio’s Chicago Amplified have recorded every presentation at this symposium as well as Maxwell Street’s history. These will be uploaded and available soon. While this information is not lost to the ages, by not attending you never had a chance to ask a question or taste all the delicious food. Perhaps next time?
