The last few weeks we spent time diving into the fantasy that was the World’s Columbian Exposition. This has always been an event that I would do anything to go back in time to attend. In reality, if I existed as myself all the way back in 1893, there’s no way I would’ve attended the Fair. At best, I would’ve been on display at the Midway.Show Notes here! Send us Fan MailSupport the showIf you have anything you'd like us to talk about on the podcast, food or history, please email us at ⁠[email protected] US ON YOUTUBE ⁠HERE⁠!Visit our *NEW* website ⁠https://www.77flavors.orgFollow us on IG:77 Flavors of Chicago ⁠@77flavorschi⁠Dario ⁠dariodurhamphotoSara @sarafaddah
