The Higbee Company and The Silver Grille: More Memories, More Recipes

The sequel to Cleveland Landmarks Press' best-selling book of 2000, The Silver Grille: Memories and Recipes, by Richard E. Karberg, Judith Karberg, and Jane Hazen, The Higbee Company and The Silver Grille: More Memories, More Recipes takes readers on a floor-by-floor tour of the famous Higbee Company department store at its apex - in 1956. Higbee's then had just completed its first major store renovation, and suburban shopping malls had yet to dominate the local Cleveland retail scene. Readers can relive and remember the meticulous displays, the upscale merchandise, and the incredible amenities with 86 illustrations and old advertisements. And, the book provides 34 more original Silver Grille recipes, dishes that made the downtown restaurant the special dining experience that Greater Clevelanders remember so fondly. Joe Crea, The Plain Dealer's Foods and Restaurants Editor, adds to the new book with an introduction as well.
