Chef Stuart O’Keeffe to appear at the 2009 Taste of Chicago Food Festival.
The Taste of Chicago is the world’s largest food festival, held annually for 10 days in Chicago starting Friday before the 4th of July and ending the Sunday after. The event is the largest festival in Chicago. Every year, millions of Chicagoans, and tourists from around the world flock to Grant Park to enjoy the variety of food prepared by Chicago’s most popular restaurants. Events also include live music on multiple stages, informational and family oriented pavilions, and nightly film performances. Musical acts vary from established and emerging local artists, to nationally known artists like Carlos Santana, Moby, and Kenny Rogers. All performances are free. July 3rd (Independence Eve) is by far the event’s most attended day. The Chicago Country Music festival no longer occurs simultaneously with Taste of Chicago. Popular local food staples at Taste include Chicago-style pizza, Chicago hot dogs, barbecued ribs, Italian Beef, Maxwell Street Polish Sausage, cheesecake, and a variety of ethnic and regional foods. The city’s diverse variety of cuisines is well represented.
