Tribune Taste Challenge
Today's Tempo section of the Chicago Tribune features a front-page spread on Monica Eng's successful consumption of 253 different dishes featured at the Taste of Chicago. Ignoring the annoying mystical food-wisdom flashes from two professional (?) eaters consulted for the ordeal, ahem, challenge, and let-down in the recommendations (only 3 desserts get a shout out?) it's an interesting piece in that car-wreck-can't-look-away kind of way. Thankfully no reporting on purging accompanies the story of the binge, and for the low low price of $1,022 you too could throw down the Taste Gauntlet. Though Monica doesn't seem to imply that you should.
