Popis: The 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition, held in Chicago from May to October, hosted 27 million people who experienced the encyclopedic world of the past, present, and imagined future on display in the space of a single site. The restaurants and food-related exhibits of the fair introduced new modes of consumption, while literally sustaining tourists and workers alike. Individual consumption at the Chicago Fair would have been mediated by a person’s ethnicity, class, race, and gender, as well as emerging access to increasingly industrialized, urban food systems. Historical, archival, and archaeological research at Chicago’s Jackson Park, the former site of the fair, reveal some of the most pervasive legacies of these foodways.
