Day four of Chicago’s biggest food fest kicks off Saturday.

Twenty-two new places to tease your palate are among the restaurants and food trucks available at the five-day event, which started Wednesday. In all, the 66 establishments will include seven new restaurants, eight new pop-ups and seven new food trucks.
