About This Book

This book was created using articles published in the Chicago Tribune over the past 25 years. The editors have carefully selected from the Tribune’s rich archive of material on Trotter and edited it to present the story of the chef and his restaurant in book format.

Throughout the book, regular text denotes original material taken from the Tribune’s archives. Italic text denotes material created to connect the various source materials into a coherent whole.

This 3.0 edition of Charlie Trotter was updated with new material created in November 2013.
