ABC 7 News (Chicago)

Steve Dolinsky is the Food Reporter for ABC 7 in Chicago, the city's #1 news station. Every week, he creates three original reports for the station.

Typical segments might include: how to eat Korean barbeque, where to get Indian mangoes, highlighting the process of making Colombian empanadas, even following produce from the farm to the table.

His "Hungry Hound" reports air on Wednesdays and Fridays during the 11 a.m. newscast; also every Friday night at 10 p.m. One of his stories from the week is chosen to repeat on the station's 6 a.m. newscast every Sunday.

In 2006, his work on ABC garnered the James Beard Award for Best TV Food Segment: National or Local.  It was Steve's 12th Beard overall.
