I really enjoyed this...

Published on Nov, 2024

I really enjoyed this tour. The food items represented on this tour truly gave my the Chicago culinary experience. The guide was very knowledgeable and gave a real good history of the foods. I would recommend! Thank you!

Fun and interesting intro to Chicago and its culture

Published on Oct, 2024

I booked onto this food tour in my first visit to Chicago and it was fantastic! The tour guide, Dash, was super friendly, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and made an effort to deliver the best experience for each person on the tour. As well as the history and culture of Chicago's signature dishes, Dash explained a lot about the city itself and its architecture, as well as things to do in the local area - an added bonus! Learning about and sampling beef dogs and the famous beef sandwhich at Lukes, as well as a deep dish slice from Lou Malnati's was a highlight of my time in Chicago. We also took the train, which was a cool way to discover the city. I'm glad I experienced this food tour in my introduction to this awesome city - thanks!
