Well - Chicago does this wonderful thing every year called "Taste of Chicago." In a park downtown restaurants come and set up booths where they sell some of the signature items off of their menus. You buy tickets beforehand or at the entrance that allows you to purchase food from the vendors. The best part - you can buy smaller "taste" samples of the food which cost a lot less - wonderful! So - the husband and I went down TWICE [we bought way too many tickets the first time, but we weren't too upset about that] to Taste of Chicago to have dinner. We walked along the crowed streets with dozens of sweaty people, elbowing our way through to buy only the small bite sized portions [that actually turned out to be way larger than we had anticipated] and then split those. We decided to attack the festival this way so that we could sample dozens of different kinds of food. It was so fun! Both times we went we met up with one or two of the husband's work friends which was awesome.
Unfortunately we didn't take a ton of pictures because we were too busy stuffing our faces - but enjoy these ones:
*Some people told us it wasn't worth the time or hassle to go - but we decided to try it out anyways - so glad that we did! I can definitively see this experience being terrible if you went in the middle of the day on a weekday or if you had a couple kids that you had to keep your eye on and feed.....that would be a completely different story and we probably wouldn't have enjoyed it. But it was just perfect for us!
