Everyone had a family member that, as we were growing up, was the “Bringer of the Potato Salad” for every holiday, birthday, and graduation celebration. Mine was my Grandmother Esther. She was a simple but “all so good cook,” always with a great story of family, a bit of local lore, and even gossip!
Here is her family famous recipe for her German Potato Salad that will be sure to bring great family memories to your special occasion, or even a Sunday family dinner. Click here for the full recipe.
Michael Mech
Michael Mech was born and raised in the heart of small-town America in Blue Island,
Illinois. A bedroom community of Chicago, the town has a long and rich history to the
early 1860s. Perhaps this is why classical methods of preparation and vintage recipes influence his cooking and baking so strongly to this day.
Chef Mike has always been a booster to small-town life and bungalow living, but he’s no stranger to the big lights of the city. Mike has been featured in Chicago magazine, the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago Sun-Times, the New York Times, and recently in Who’s Hungry magazine. The Emmy-winning, PBS
television show Ask This Old House featured his home to restore the kitchen to its historical roots, and Mike demonstrated his culinary skills on the show.
A natural with the food landscape of Chicago, Mike served as the guide to the wide variety of cuisine of the Windy City to world famous chef David Rosengarten, as documented recently in Forbes magazine. Mike keeps a blog and website as The Bungalow Chef, where he shares “food
stories,” vintage recipes, and the “art of real, American cuisine.”
