Storytelling comes in many forms, and food is one of my favorites. This one is full of vibrant flavors, reclaiming space and changing the future of Latino businesses in West Town. My latest for @BlockClubCHI.

This Afternoon, Chicago lost a real hometown legend.
Pete Kastanes of #VanishedChicagoland sadly passed away.
Pete was the essence of Chicago. His ultimate goal was to share Chicago History with our City & Chicagoans around the World.
Pete's Vanished Chicagoland Group on Facebook and across social media was definitely a huge influence for us, in doing what we do daily.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Pete's Family and Friends.
We hope to do our best to keep Pete's legacy remembered for lifetimes.
Pete Kastanes was, is, and will forever be #ChicagoHistory.

Tune in at to "In the Loop" with Sasha-Ann Simons on WBEZ Chicago 9.15.
