I was always the “weird kid” in my family.
An outlier among a group of people who were a norm of normal eaters back in the 1970’s, I was in awe of a strange funny-sounding woman who cooked things I had never seen before on the Chicago PBS affiliate WTTW.

Hello, fellow Foodseum foodies! I am so excited to introduce to you my new “Food From Around the World” blog, where I can document my delicious foodie experiences that take me around the world, or, primarily, around the Greater Chicagoland area. I hope that with each post I can help shed some light on the multitude of ethnic dishes we are so fortunate to have in our great city. When thinking of food in Chicago, some might immediately think of deep dish pizza, hot dogs, or Italian beef, but the vast selection of ethnic foods available to dedicated foodies goes way beyond. From Greektown to Chinatown, Chicago is home to a “melting pot” (forgive the pun) of culinary experiences.
