What is Midwestern cuisine? Church fare, like Jello salad, or comfort food like mac n' cheese? A local chef and a Food Network chef who brings Midwestern fare to the masses join us to explore what it is and how that's changed.
Plus, upon Bill Gilbert's recently passing, we look back at his legacy and the Gilbert/Robinson restaurant empire, which gave us Houlihan's, The Bristol, Plaza III, Fred P. Ott's, Annie's Santa Fe and more.
Guests:
- Charles Ferruzza, local food critic
- Jonathan Justus, chef and owner, Justus Drugstore
- Amy Thielen, author, The New Midwestern Table, host, Heartland Table
