The Market
The “Windy City”, “Chi-Town”, and the “Second City” are all nicknames that have been given to the beloved city of Chicago. Chicago is a city known for its sports, its history, its culture, its people and its food. The Cubs, “Da Bears”, the Water Tower, the Sears Tower, the Art Institute, the Field Museum, and ethnic neighborhoods representing all parts of the world are just a few pieces of this experience we call Chicago. This long history, culinary environment and cultural mix are why Chicago is recognized as one of the largest and most exciting metropolitan areas in the world. No one loves their food more than the people of Chicago and at the heart of it all is one of the richest immigration stories in the US. As immigrants from around the world settled into Chicago, each established their own ethnic neighborhoods.
Greek Town was the largest and best-known urban community of Greeks in the United States for much of the early twentieth century, and was a large part of the Chicago cultural and culinary experience. It was even the birthplace of the gyro in the US. In the summer of 1980 the idea of then-mayor Jane Byrne, was to bring all of these cultures together in one event known as “The Taste of Chicago.” This one-day event has since grown into a must-attend ten-day event located in Grant Park. Popular local food staples at The Taste include Chicago hot dogs, gyros, Italian Beefs, Maxwell Street Polish Sausage, and Greek Salads, all foods that capture the variety and history of the city’s cultural diversity.
