The Rockefeller version of the Taste of Chicago was in town the last weekend of September for Chicagoans with refined taste buds. The third annual Chicago Gourmet, the city’s premium food and wine festival, was held in Millennium Park. As always, the event focused on the talents of Chicago-based chefs, such as The Food Network’s Iron Chef competitor Rick Bayless. Gourmands forked over $250 for two-day general-admission tickets. There were five food pavilions at the festival, so devoted eaters sampled up to 50 creations a day. The festival sold out quickly, but it’s never too late to check out their website and make plans to stop by next year.
If you can’t wait another year to sample some great food, stop by
The Great American Cooking Expo! The showcase will be held in Arlington Heights on November 13
th and 14
th. Tickets are only $10 (making it much more affordable than the Gourmet Festival). Many different chefs will be at the expo, giving demonstrations on how to prepare many different kinds of delicious meals. Make sure you sign up now, if you’d like to participate.
