Harry Caray's Restaurant, "the best steakhouse in Chicago"* with "the quintessential Chicago bar"**, is named for the late, renowned baseball announcer and has been designated the Official Home Plate of the Chicago Cubs. The bar is 60'6", the exact distance from the pitcher's mound to home plate, and the restaurant houses 1,500 pieces of baseball memorabilia, including photographs, vintage newspapers, a Sammy Sosa autographed bat, and items from Stan Musial, Ernie Banks, Hank Aaron, Ted Williams, and others. Harry Caray's is just north of the Loop in one of Chicago's most architecturally significant buildings.
The Harry Caray's Restaurant Cookbook is a visit to Chicago and the restaurant that serves "the best Chicken Vesuvio in the city"***. More than 150 recipes include "potent pasta, holy-cow steaks, and chicken fit for the Chairman of the Board." **** The stories, sidebars, and pictures bring back memories of baseball and Chicago. This important addition to the RoadfoodTM Cookbook series is sure to be a favorite with people in Chicagoland and throughout the country.
"When you only have time to visit one restaurant in Chicago, it's got to be Harry Caray's" - David M. Lissner, Dining Chicago.

Title: Great cookbook
Review: What a great surprise this cookbook has been! Easy and delicious recipes with ingredients you probably already have at home. It's become a go-to in our household. This book has also taught me different ways to prepare common foods in a much tastier way.

Title: Holy Cow! This food is great
Review: HOLY COW! Harry Carays cookbook is fabulous! This is one of the best and favorite cookbooks from a eating establishment out there. It is also one of the best Italian cookbooks I have used. The Chicken Marsala and Vesuvio are just out of this world. All of the favorites can be found within mixed with a little history and some 4 color photos intermixed but most photos are black and white. You will wear this book out. Try out the crab cakes.

Title: This is a GREAT COOKBOOK! Wonderful variety of recipes
Review: This is a GREAT COOKBOOK! Wonderful variety of recipes. Some of the recipes are obscure but most welcome Italian food. This isnot an average cookbook. You will want to try these recipes. I'm an avid cookbook collector and this is a most welcome edition.

Title: A super neat gift for my gf who loves the Cubs
Review: Arrived quick, very new quality condition. A super neat gift for my gf who loves the Cubs, loves Chicago, and loves to cook. Her and her mom sat and read through the recipes excited. I personally would have liked to seen a LOT more photos in the book, especially photos of the dishes, seems like a book like this would have that, it's mostly just pages upon pages of plain text. There are a couple color pages of photos though. She liked it, so I'm not complaining.

Title: Best crabcakes recipe ever!
Review: Bought this cookbook years ago after eating at the restaurant on a visit to Chicago with our younger son. The crabcakes, remoulade sauce, and peppers and sausage recipes are wonderful and absolutely faithful to the restaurant versions.

Title: Really good and fun cookbook
Review: Good recipes and a good insight into a sports icon. We ate at the restaurant in MDW and wanted to see if we could replicate some of the food. So we bought the book. Very pleased with it.
