News / Chicagoland More like the Taste... of Hell
Posted by Whet Moser on Tue, Jun 24, 2008 at 11:10 AM
I've always wondered what Leon Kass thinks of the Taste of Chicago. I'm guessing it feels like a Hieronymus Bosch painting or the scene from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas where Hunter Thompson wanders around Circus Circus on ether.

Seriously, Whet? You're bewildered that Taste might be so over the top as to be nauseating? I can't handle it at all... and I probably couldn't even if it were free.
i'm proud to have closed out the chicago phase of my life without even once thinking about going to Taste of Chicago. my take remains, it's like a mall, except without the air conditioning or stores, but with a really good food court that's 3x overpriced, plus a lack of seating and way too crowded and loud and a scam.
And it smells terribly of trampled turf and tourists. This mall also lacks ample free parking.
