This year's Taste of Chicago is about more than giant turkey legs. You can also sample food from some Beard Award-winning and reality star chefs.
Taste organizers have unveiled the lineup for the Celebrity Chef du Jour, a special ticketed culinary option during the food festival.
Chefs Paul Kahan, Rick Bayless, Carrie Nahabedian, Giuseppe Tentori and a pairing of Gale Gand and The Hearty Boys will take turns serving up a three-course sit-down dinner each day of Taste.
Admission is $40 a person for the dinners, which take place in an air-conditioned dining pavilion on the festival grounds.
