Full description
Your Chicago food tour will take you through the River North neighborhood — the original Chicago foodie destination — to sample some world-famous Chicago dishes, local favorites, and sweet treats. Choose between a shared group or private tour. Start with a very well-known Chicago dish: the Chicago-style hot dog. Perfect for summers at a baseball game (cheering on the Cubs or Sox of course), or for a quick lunch on a workday, this local take on a hot dog is a debate-worthy food in Chicago and is taken very seriously by locals. You will also sample the world-famous Chicago deep-dish pizza! An entire meal unto itself, this staple of the Chicago food scene originated in River North in the 1940s when workers and families needed filling dishes at low prices.  After you’ve filled up on pizza and hot dogs, continue your tasting journey with a classic Chicago sandwich: Italian beef. This hearty meal came about during the Depression, and it’s here to stay. Conclude your Chicago foodie experience here, with easy access to the ‘L’. Even if you say you’ll never be hungry again, don’t forget to note some great dinner recommendations from your guide.

I'm a huge fan of food tours in every new city I visit. Dash was an awesome guide. He peppered our walks with tons of interesting facts about architecture and the history of Chicago. He was enthusiastic, easy to follow and understand. I loved learning about each "native" food item and the establishment in which we sampled them. I highly recommend this tour and our fabulous tour guide, Dash!

This tour was great! Kelly was my guide and she was super knowledgeable about the city and the food. The locations she took us to were amazing and all of the food was delicious. I was pretty full by the end, but not too full to eat the dessert she had planned!
