Whistlin' Dixie
If you caught the 100th episode of Check, Please! (a restaurant-review show on Chicago's PBS affiliate), you know what answer President Obama would give if you asked him where to grab a bite in Hyde Park: Dixie Kitchen & Bait Shop. Filmed in August 2001 but unaired until last Friday, during the episode the former U of C law lecturer recommended Harper Court's Southern-style restaurant as the place to go for "food that tastes good at a good price," including his favorites: peach cobbler and johnnycakes.
- Listen to David Manilow, Check, Please! creator and executive producer, discuss the Obama episode (Eight Forty-Eight, Dec. 2, 2004).
- Read critiques of Obama's appearance (Chicago Sun-Times, Jan. 1, 2009; Chicago Tribune, Jan. 15, 2009).
