Michael A. Bilandic became mayor after the death of Richard J. Daley in 1976. During his 1979 election campaign, Bilandic emphasized his ethnic and family loyalties with this brochure that included his wife Heather Bilandic's recipes for Grandma Bilandic's Fried Chicken, Beef Stroganoff, and Croatian Cheese Torte. Bilandic was soundly defeated by Jane Byrne during the Democratic primary.
