Mike’s Value Picks( ), are those restaurants which provide a surprisingly good dining experience for the money. Notes on the Guide: The restaurants mentioned in the guide are sourced from personal dining experiences, research, and recommendations from friends, patrons, and Elite Eats program attendees. I have not been to every restaurant in the guide, though I have been to many, including each of the Mike’s Value Picks recipients. Source Used: This column in the following tables shows how the restaurant first came to my attention. One source commonly mentioned is the “LTH Forum,” which refers to the website lthforum.com. This site has lively discussions of dining in the Chicago area, as well as being the home of the annual GNR (Great Neighborhood Restaurants) Awards (lthforum.com/bb/viewforum.php?f=28). Another source referenced is “Reddit,” which is a massive Internet discussion forum covering a broad range of topics. These are broken into several subtopics, or “subreddits.” For the purposes of the guide, Reddit’s Chicago content consists of two of these subreddits: o Chicago: https://www.reddit.com/r/chicago/ o Chicago food: https://www.reddit.com/r/chicagofood/ Distance from Hinsdale Public Library: Typical driving distance from the Library. A special thanks to Lori Cummins for her invaluable fact checking and research assistance on the 2018 edition of the guide.

    The National Herald December 23, 2006 The National Herald is once again honored to join you and your family for Christmas. In addition to the other contents in this issue, we have spotlighted two short and abridged stories written by Photios Kontoglou (1895–1965), a gifted and spiritual artist. These stories depict two unique celebrations of Christmas in Aivali, Asia Minor. As the Christmas season draws near, many of us will be attending Orthodox churches and experiencing the spiritual power of Greek icons. Kondoglou was the foremost iconographer in Greece in the 20th century. He wrote extensively on the sacred art of iconography, in fact he is considered the man responsible for the revival of Byzantine iconography in the 1930’s. Kontoglou was born in 1895 in Aivali, Asia Minor. Together with his paintings and his writings, he published more than 3000 studies and articles, fighting for the eternal values of the Or- thodoxy and the Greek Tradition. Although known primarily as an iconist and philosopher, Kontoglou was also nominated for the Nobel Prize in literature. He was awarded the Cross-of-the- Commander of the Phoenix and received the Distinction of Letters and Arts from the Academy of Athens in recognition of all his exceptional work. We are also continuing our theme of Christmas past with a touching story, from the perspective of a Greek soldier, during the Albanian campaign of 1940-1941. Included in this insert is a lighthearted piece by Paul Papadeas about celebrating Christmas Greek style in North Carolina during the 1980’s. As for the story of Christmas present we leave it up to you, and from all of the staff of The National Herald we wish you “Χρόνια Πολλά.” Beverley MacDougall Special Section Assistant Editor 2 CHRISTMAS 2006 THE NATIONAL HERALD, DECEMBER 23, 2006 and fill their hearts and minds with The National Herald peace.

  • Cultural Identity Construction in Russian-Jewish Post-Immigration Literature
    Cultural Identity Construction in Russian-Jewish Post-Immigration Literature by Regan Cathryn Treewater A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Comparative Literature University of Alberta © Regan Cathryn Treewater, 2017 ii Abstract The following dissertation examines narratives of immigration to Western Europe, Israel and North America authored by Russian-speaking writers of Jewish decent, born in the Soviet Union after World War II. The project seeks to investigate representations of resettlement experiences and cultural identity construction in the literature of the post- 1970s Russian-Jewish diaspora. The seven authors whose selected works comprise the corpus of analysis write in Russian, German and English, reflecting the complex performative nature of their own multilayered identities. The authors included are Dina Rubina, Liudmila Ulitskaia, Wladimir Kaminer, Lara Vapnyar, Gary Shteyngart, Irina Reyn, and David Bezmozgis. The corpus is a selection of fictional and semi- autobiographical narratives that focus on cultural displacement and the subsequent renegotiation of ‘self’ following immigration. In the 1970s and final years of Communist rule, over one million Soviet citizens of Jewish heritage immigrated to Western Europe, Israel and North America. Inhospitable government policies towards Soviet citizens identified as Jewish and social traditions of anti-Semitism precipitated this mass exodus. After escaping prejudice within the Soviet system, these Jewish immigrants were marginalized in their adopted homelands as Russians. The following study of displacement and relocation draws on Homi Bhabha’s theories of othering and unhomeliness. The analyzed works demonstrate both culturally based othering and unhomely experiences pre- and post-immigration resulting from relegation to the periphery of society.

  • Soup at the Distinguished Table in Mexico City, 1830-1920
    SOUP AT THE DISTINGUISHED TABLE IN MEXICO CITY, 1830-1920 Nanosh Lucas A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2017 Committee: Amílcar Challú, Committee Co-Chair Franciso Cabanillas, Committee Co-Chair Amy Robinson Timothy Messer-Kruse © 2017 Nanosh Jacob Isadore Joshua Lucas All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Amílcar Challú, Committee Co-Chair Francisco Cabanillas, Committee Co-Chair This thesis uses soup discourse as a vehicle to explore dimensions of class and hierarchies of taste in Mexican cookbooks and newspapers from 1830-1920. It contrasts soups with classic European roots, such as sopa de pan (bread soup), with New World soups, such as sopa de tortilla (tortilla soup) and chilaquiles (toasted tortillas in a soupy sauce made from chiles). I adopt a multi-disciplinary approach, combining quantitative methods in the digital humanities with qualitative techniques in history and literature. To produce this analysis, I draw from Pierre Bourdieu’s work on distinction and social capital, Max Weber’s ideas about modernization and rationalization, and Charles Tilly’s notions of categorical inequality. Results demonstrate that soup plays a part in a complex drama of inclusion and exclusion as people socially construct themselves in print and culinary practice. Elites attempted to define respectable soups by what ingredients they used, and how they prepared, served, and consumed soup. Yet, at the same time, certain soups seemed to defy hierarchical categorization, and that is where this story begins. iv To Lisa and Isadora Lucas. Thank you for your sacrifices.
