New Yorker or Chicagoan of a certain age can recall Jewish delicatessens stocked with pastrami, knockwursts, and chicken soup with kneidlach and lockshen. Discover how Jewish dishes became assimilated into the canon of American food even as they became “Americanized” themselves! Learn the fascinating story of Kraig’s own immigrant grandfather, Harry Krahmalkov, who helped introduce bagels and other culinary delights to his new country.
Free and open to the public.

Bruce Kraig has published widely on the history of Jewish food and culture and often appears on national media outlets such as ABC Nightline and NPR’s Talk of the Nation. His book, Hot Dogs: A Global History, won a Paris Book Fair Award
