A delightful new book, co-authored by Neal Samors and Eric Bronsky, celebrates Chicago's iconic Jewish delis through nostalgic recollections and interviews with food experts and deli owners. Eric will provide a visual tour of local delis past and present while discussing the overstuffed sandwiches, schmears and storytelling that made these delis more than just eateries-they were community gathering places and keepers of tradition. A sample of deli favorites will be served at 10:45, prior to Eric's presentation. 10.00 Residents/13.00 Non-Residents
