LOUIS SZATHMARY

[maggiethecat]

I'm researching an article about Louis Sazthmary, arguably the chef who made Chicago a food destination. I got to Chicago a few years too late for his restaurant, The Bakery, so I'm hoping some of you remember the man and his works.

And his recipes and cookbooks!

I ate there once, years ago--the food was delicious. He was very famous for his roast duck, for which I had the recipe, but unfortuantely I no longer have it. I *do* remember that you braised the duck pieces ahead of time and the reheated thenm in a very hot oven--or, maybe under the broiler--just before serving.
