Saganaki is the famous Greek cheese dish that Chicago turned into a tableside spectacle. In Greece, saganaki just means “little pan” usually bubbling cheese or seafood finished with lemon, never with flames. But here in Chicago, restaurants lit it on fire, shouted “OPA!” and made it one of the city’s most unforgettable dining experiences. Who invented Saganaki? Where did it come from? And how did this humble hunk of curd change the Greek-American (and Greek) dining scene forever? We’ll talk all about it then I’ll show you how to make it like it’s done here in Chicago. Εβίβα! (Cheers!)
