Hello kms,

does this food from Chicago documentary has anything to do with the Polish immigration in Chicago?

[bescheid]

Interesting!

All this food makes me hungry....and very educational, for some reason, I have always thought of Chicago as being primarily only of Italian as a city. Were not all the gangster people Italian? Of course that was long past, I would imagine they {gangster} have become educated and are in public office for better control of their business.

I have never been to Chicago, and as so, would enjoy to be proved wrong.

Hey KMS thanks for the headsup . Is this a PBS station. It might not be run in our areas. I'll have to check our schedules.

Some of the excerpts from the show. It appears that they are a
PBS TV station.



The foods of Polish Noblemen and rural Polish Highlanders. We learn the peasant origins of many popular Polish foods (pierogis, for example), and how Polish-Americans have developed eating traditions all their own.

Chicago has very many fine Polish people all around the city, and many of there own areas. Great places to eat and buy Polish foods.

Hello Everyone!

Yes, WTTW (Channel 11) is a local, Chicago PBS station. And The Foods of Chicago: A Delicious History does address Polish immigration and the wonderful food traditions that the Polish people brought to Chicago.

We interview several people including Dobra Bielinski at Delightful Pastries and Stan Bobak with Bobak sausages. And we take a look at how the Polonia neighborhood developed on Chicago's northwest side.

I hope you enjoy watching it on Nov 27th at 7:30pm!
