The 38th Taste of Chicago kicks off on Wednesday. The abbreviated version.

Remember when it used to be ten days?! Now it runs through the weekend.

If you don’t want to battle the crowd or the porta potties, try the Taste Oasis. It’s more chill.

And it’s $50! Whaaaaat?

You determine if it’s worth it….air conditioning, private seating, executive bathrooms, tasty bites, a private bar and a DJ.

Did I mention executive washrooms? That might be worth the price of admission alone!

Only 250 tickets per day…so if you want the VIP treatment, have at it…https://www.cityofchicago.org/city/en/depts/dca/supp_info/taste_oasis.html
