Chicago historian and urbanologist Max Grinnell will take attendees on a tour of Chicago dining, utilizing historic photographs, visual ephemera, and his own observations from over two decades of dining out in Chicago, from Army & Lou's to the late, great Como Inn. 

As an urbanologist, geographer, historian, and professor, Max Grinnell finds his raison d’etre in describing, critiquing, and analyzing the urban condition. Max was educated at the University of Chicago where he received degrees in history, geography, and community development. He’s an expert on urban design, planning, public art, the creative economy, and the history of cities. When he’s not on the road, Max can be found in Boston or Chicago.
