Where the Taste of Chicago is Not a Waste
I've never loved the Taste of Chicago. The last time I attended the annual eat-a-thon, I was almost knocked over by a throng of teenagers who looked like they were out for blood; I just wanted a taste portion of Robinson's Ribs. My priorities had to change.
This year's event (July 11-15) will feature a new, higher-end offering; a three-course meal (lunch and dinner) served by a new celebrity chef each day (among the chefs are Stephanie Izard of Girl and the Goat, Graham Elliot, and Tony Mantuano of Spiaggia). Each chef will also conduct a cooking demonstration, and one of their items will be prepared and sold by students at the Washburne Culinary Institute. The best part? Each meal will be $40. Tickets will be available soon; the line starts behind me.
