The Taste of Chicago, 2007
Foodie heaven commences on June 27th, when Taste of Chicago touches down in Grant Park. All the way through July 6th, visitors can sample offerings from more than 65 restaurants and food vendors, and catch live performances from Stevie Wonder, Bonnie Raitt, Chaka Khan and more. Debuting this year is our very own Zagat Dining Pavilion, located conveniently near the Chef’s Table, where dishes from Zagat-Rated restaurants – including Heaven on Seven, Tavern on Rush and Les Nomades – will be prepared by students from the Washburne Culinary Institute.
