yummmm

The Taste of Chicago begins next week, and though I think that the event can be a hellishly crowded and overrated mistake if you go at the wrong time (aka any day around the 4th of July), I am still excited to browse the booths.  I have checked out the vendors, which can be found here, and though I'm slightly disappointed with the seemingly smaller restaurant selection, decided on several restaurants that are a must.

Adobo Grill- I have yet to visit this Old Town favorite, but I hear the guacamole is to die for, so I will definitely check out their booth.

Blue Bayou- I have no idea what this restaurant is all about, but after months of searching for a place that has Bananas Foster on the menu (one of my boy's favorites) and not finding a single place around, we will definitely need some of their Bananas Foster bites.

Original Rainbow Cone- Chocolate, strawberry, palmer and pistachio ice cream with orange sherbet in a waffle cone.  Can't go wrong, especially on a hot day.

Lou Malnatis- By far the best pizza in the world.

Any place that offers sweet potato anything.

Hashbrowns- Good ole southern food?  Check.  This booth is offering sweet potato fries and sweet potato hashbrowns.

C'est Si Bon!- Sweet potato cheesecake.  What more can I say.

Aunt Diana's Candy Makers- A chocolate covered banana always does the trick.

My stomach is growling already!
