Grapes vs. Grains
So, we missed the first, August 16 installment of Whole Foods Market's Beer vs. Wine Trilogy, in which sommeliers and cicerones (who knew that was the word for a beer expert? Not me!) bring out the big guns to see which of their chosen beverages tastes the best with food. Part 2, on Sunday, August 29, takes place at the Center on Halsted, above the Halsted & Waveland Whole Foods. Taking advantage of the city's new street-food trend, it pairs beer and wine with grub from local street vendors.
The third and final, "most epic," according to the release, event happens on Sunday, September 12, at the Whole Foods in Lincoln Park. The two drinks will battle it out over dishes from some of Chicago's top restaurants including Hot Chocolate, DMK Burger Bar, and Kuma's Corner.
Ultimately, there's no overall winner -- it will depend on what tastes best to you. But still, it would be nice to settle once and for all whether burgers go best with wine or beer. My tastebuds are still unclear.
