Time for the Taste!

Time for the Taste!
It's about that
time of year again! Every year,
Chicagoans and tourists alike flock
to Grant Park to sample the diverse
tastes of Chicago area restaurants
and celebrate the arrival of summer.
The Taste is less than a week away,
and everyone at GH can't help but
get excited about strolling the park
during lunch hour and enjoying all
the delicious food our city has to
offer.
This year, the
Taste is boasting 65 booths of local
treats and ethnic eats. In addition
to mainstay classics such as
Robinson's Ribs and Eli's
Cheesecake, some new restaurants are
making debut appearances. Notable
additions include:
Hashbrowns
This University Village breakfast hotspot serves a variety of inventive hashbrowns and omelets named after Chicago neighborhoods. Yum!
Las Tablas
This Lakeview steakhouse will be serving empanadas, watermelon juice-laced fruit salad and sausage and cheese cornbread. Wow!
In addition to delectable food from some of my personal favorites like Lou Malnati's, Star of Siam and Tuscany, the Taste is also boasting some amazing entertainment from Chaka Kahn(!!!), Stevie Wonder, Josh Kelly and many more. Finally, don't forget to check out the fireworks on July 3 and 4 at 9:30pm!
Let the good times roll!
28th Annual Taste of Chicago:
When: June 27 - July
Where: Grant Park
Cost: Free; $8 for a strip of 12 food and drink tickets
