Abstract
The Charlie Trotter Collection reflects aspects of Trotter’s life and career from his culinary development to his restaurants to his activities as a celebrity chef. The materials include a selection of menus, personal manuscripts, photographs and artifacts that taken together provide a snapshot into the life of a celebrity chef and the five-star restaurant that changed the culinary landscape of Chicago.
Biographical/Historical
Charles Hugh Trotter (1959-2013) was born on September 8, 1959 to Dona-Lee and Robert Trotter and grew up in Chicago’s northern suburb of Wilmette. It was only after earning a bachelor’s degree in Political Science at University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1982 that he began his pursuit of cooking in earnest. Trotter considered himself a self-taught chef. He briefly attended the California Culinary Academy, but spent most of his time between 1982 and 1985 working at approximately 40 restaurants before embarking on a trip to Europe to eat and learn in 1985. During his European trip he met Chef Frédy Girardet who he considered a philosophical mentor and discovered Fernand Point, whose book, Ma Gastronomie, ranks high on his list of important culinary books. These lessons contributed to Trotter’s innovative cuisine. He would be among the first to apply French techniques with American ingredients and bring Asian flavors into the mix.
In August 1987, a 27-year-old Trotter, with funding from his father and help from his family, opened his $1.5-million restaurant, Charlie Trotter's, in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood. He would later expand the 66-seat brownstone with the acquisition of an identical structure next door. Trotter initially thought he would offer superior dining at reasonable prices, but within months, the Chicago Tribune sent over a three-star review. His business grew faster than anticipated and he would continue to redefine the dining experience. By 1989, he added a dining table in the kitchen along with innovative tasting menus, including one for vegetables. In 1990, he decided to stop serving distilled spirits that could dull the palate. Instead, he and his highly rated sommeliers built a wine selection that held more than 1,300 selections designed to pair with the food. In 1995, he had his walk-in cooler removed during a $750,000 kitchen renovation because his reliance on fresh ingredients negated the need. In 2002, he took foie gras off the menu due to ethical concerns over the production of the dish.
Trotter’s culinary vision rested on merging the four elements of food, wine, service and hospitality into a totality that he referred to as “excellence.” He would win the Outstanding Chef Award from the James Beard Foundation in 1999 and later claim eight additional Beard Awards, including “Best Restaurant.” This vision was not without demands and Trotter has been characterized as a taskmaster and perfectionist. An astonishing number of nationally acclaimed chefs who began their careers working for him, however, credit that experience as foundational to their later success. Trotter’s reputation of excellence contributed to his rise as a celebrity chef and his other culinary ventures.
As a restaurateur, Trotter opened Trotter’s To Go, a high-end delicatessen and catering store at 1337 W. Fullerton, also in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago in 2000. He ventured into the luxury spa market with a restaurant called, C, in the One&Only Palmilla resort in Los Cabos, Mexico in 2004. This restaurant closed four years later in 2008 despite good reviews. In 2008, Trotter opened his second namesake restaurant in Las Vegas known as Restaurant Charlie. The restaurant received the Michelin Guide One Star award in 2009 and included a private bar known as Bar Charlie that allowed diners to overlook the kitchen preparation. This venture lasted two years and closed in March 2010. His plans for a seafood restaurant in New York City in 2005 never materialized.
Charlie Trotter became a celebrity chef before the days of social media. In 1999, Trotter launched his cooking program, The Kitchen Sessions with Charlie Trotter, on PBS. He is the author of over a dozen cookbooks and 3 management books. He developed a line of organic and all-natural gourmet foods and products for national distribution and through a boutique at Marshall Field’s department store.
Other ventures were more charitable in nature. From the beginning, Trotter hosted dining events at his restaurant to raise money for the James Beard Foundation and other charities. These events featured guest chefs that he admired from restaurants around the world who enticed diners to a cause. Trotter, however, also recognized these chefs as an invaluable resource and turned these visits into educational opportunities for culinary students and chefs around the city to learn from these various masters. Closer to home, he invited groups of Chicago public high school students into his restaurant two to three times per week as part of his Excellence Program. The students were served a fine dining meal and learned about the motivations of those preparing it. For students interested in a culinary career, the Charlie Trotter Culinary Education Foundation was created to provide grants and scholarships.
After 25 years, Trotter decided to close his successful Chicago restaurant in August 2012. That same year, he won the Humanitarian of the Year award from the James Beard Foundation.
He died suddenly from a stroke in 2013 at the age of 54. The Charles and Rochelle Trotter Culinary Endowment was established to carry on his Foundation’s legacy. The program is administered by the Illinois Restaurant Association.
Mrs. Rochelle Trotter donated the collection to Chicago Public Library in 2016.

Subseries B: Charlie Trotter Cookbook and Personal Library Separations, 1994-2012, undated
Scope and Content
Charlie Trotter kept two sizable libraries: culinary and personal. Please consult the Charlie Trotter Cookbook Collection or the Charlie Trotter Personal Library for more details.
His culinary library contained over 1300 books, related to cooking, wine and the restaurant industry from around the world. Besides authoring his own cookbooks, Trotter was included in culinary compilations and wrote introductions and endorsements to the works of other chefs. Additionally, notable chefs or cookbook publishers gave Trotter many of the titles in his culinary collection.
Trotter’s personal library contained over 700 volumes that spanned numerous subjects including art, literature, music, philosophy, political science and travel.
A number of the volumes in the Charlie Trotter Cookbook Collection and to a lesser extent, the Charlie Trotter Personal Library, contain inscriptions and letters from authors, chefs, friends and publishers. The original letters along with menus and handwritten notes have been removed from the volumes in this collection for preservation purposes. These materials are arranged alphabetically by who wrote the letter to Trotter or by restaurant or topic and reference the title they were removed from. Unless specifically noted, the separations are from the Charlie Trotter Cookbook Collection.

Series 4: Photographs, circa 1956-2010, undated
The Photographs series contains both physical and digitally created photographs. The images capture a wide range of events in the life of a celebrity chef ranging from his hands-on involvement in his restaurant operations to events with other notable chefs to images of some of his signature dishes.
Numerous snapshots document the 20th and 21st anniversaries of Charlie Trotter’s Chicago restaurant and include chefs, dining guests, food preparation and special receptions. Chicago photographer Kipling Swehla took these photographs along with several others in this series.
Photographs that begin with the prefix “1” are physical materials and photographs that begin with the prefix “2” were created digitally and will be made available in that format in the Special Collections Reading Room. Photographs with accession numbers are framed enlargements that include a selection of food photography by Kipling Swehla for Trotter’s publications.
Please as an archivist for an index of identified persons by image number.
