CHICAGO — The annual Taste of Chicago is back, better and bigger than before.
The Taste is all about trying new things but also remembering what makes Chicago great from Lou Malnati’s pizza to Eli’s Cheesecake.
“My father Eli Schulman took his cheesecake outside of Eli’s for the first time on July 4, 1980 — that first Taste on Michigan Avenue,” President of Eli’s Cheesecake Marc Schulman said.
“We’re the only vendor that has been at Taste every year since,” Schulman said.
Just like the Taste, a few things have changed over the years, however the cheesecake is staying the same.
There are 35 food vendors and 15 food trucks, all serving food with live entertainment as well.
The Taste opens up at 11 a.m. and ends at 9 p.m. and is free admission.
