Taste of Chicago

Scenes from this year's Taste of Chicago.

You have until July 5 to enjoy the Taste of Chicago. We have a few tips and tricks to make the most of your experience:

• Stop by the Toyota tent and spin the wheel first. You have a chance of winning free food tickets and other prizes.
• Buy your own drinks and handi-wipes before heading over to the Taste. Napkins are scarce & the beverage tents are overpriced.
• If you need to renew your driver’s license, the Secretary of State’s office has a booth. It takes 10 minutes!
• Forget the concerts and food demos! The real entertainment is watching out-of-towners try to eat turkey legs and corn-on-the-cob at the same time.
• Unless it’s overcast like today, you should wear a hat. There is virtually no shade at the Taste..
• The Original Rainbow Cone is still the best dessert at the Taste!
