Historic Chicago Bakeries
Online Zoom Event -
As immigrants came from outside the United States and settled in pockets around the city, each neighborhood had its own bakery—and sometimes several. At one time, more than seven thousand bakeries dotted the city streets. Stalwarts like Dinkel’s, Roeser’s, Weber’s, Pticek and Ferrara continue a legacy that shaped Chicago’s food traditions: an atomic cake for family celebrations, bacon buns in the morning or a poppy seed bun for hot dogs and paczki and zeppole for holidays.
Join author Jennifer Billock as she explores the sweet and doughy history of Chicago from pioneering bakers to today's cake makers.

About
The 1501 Ellinwood Street library building is the realization of a longheld dream of the library board, staff and community partners. Located in the heart of downtown Des Plaines, the four story, 82,000 square foot building represents the community's commitment to reading, lifelong learning, and a center for family activities. A grand central staircase and large windows provide a wealth of natural light and illuminate the building at night.
