Visite à pied gastronomique et culturelle de Chicago
Description
Commencez votre visite immersive à pied sur une icône de Chicago: la fontaine du centenaire au parc River Esplanade. De là, votre guide vous emmènera dans une aventure culinaire et culturelle. Notre premier arrêt est la célèbre Billy Goat Tavern, où nous vous recommandons d'essayer leur signature "cheezborger". Ensuite, nous visiterons la Pizzeria Uno, berceau des légendaires tartes aux plats profonds de Chicago. Voyez ensuite où vont les habitants pour leur plat de boeuf chaud: Al’s Beef, un favori depuis 1938. En chemin, vous entendrez parler de la rivalité amicale avec la scène pizza de New York, les racines de l'emballage de la viande de Chicago, les speakeasies des années 1920, les gangsters, et plus encore. Nous vous recommandons d'apporter environ 30 $ pour des achats de nourriture optionnels tout au long de la visite. Votre guide vous donnera des conseils sur ce qu'il faut essayer à chaque arrêt. Notre visite se termine par une finale sucrée chez Firecakes, servant des beignets faits à partir d'une recette secrète datant des années 1930. C’est une douce finale à notre fabuleuse tournée gastronomique de Chicago !

Itinéraire
Admirez la beauté de ce parc pittoresque au bord de la rivière en découvrant son histoire et sa célèbre fontaine.
Ce restaurant old school de Chicago est connu pour son excellente viande, mais il a également été présenté dans Saturday Night Live.
Conçue comme l'inventeur original de la vaisselle profonde, cette devanture sert la vaisselle profonde depuis 1943.
M. Beef attire les touristes, mais les habitants savent que Al’s Beef à proximité peut satisfaire leurs envies de bœuf chaud et servir de la nourriture rapidement. Essayez un sandwich à ce favori local et voyez si vous êtes d'accord avec leur revendication d'être le bœuf italien numéro 1 de Chicago depuis 1938. C’est tant mieux.
Une liste de beignets artisanaux et de boissons au café est disponible dans cet endroit pittoresque au comptoir. Ce petit emplacement est la première devanture et remonte au début du XXe siècle.

Interesting stories along the tour. Highlighted foods Chicago known for - could have allowed for a little longer at the food stops.

Brydson gave me very good food advice. I was allowed to explain a lot about the history of food in chicago. I recommend
Bryson was knowledgeable and friendly! We all agreed that the tour was a perfect mix of the food Chicago has to offer. It was just the three of us so we were able to hit the spots in a perfect amount of time. We would highly recommend this! Thank you!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled you enjoyed the tour and that Bryson made it such a fun and flavorful experience. We’ll be sure to pass your compliments along to him!
I love this tour my guide lark was amazing ! I visited from Mexico and the explication was awesome ! I think that this is a great way to know Chicago
Thank you so much for joining us and for your lovely words! We're so glad you enjoyed discovering Chicago with Lark. Hope you had a wonderful visit from Mexico!
Enjoyed the tour! Very interesting and great food! I learned a lot of information I didn't realize about different places in Chicago
Nice tour. Make sure you have your walking shoes because there’s a lot of walking but worth it. Our tour guide was very informative with Chicago history. The food stops were of good food and inexpensive. Only downfall was not being able to taste deep dish pizza but we did get a coupon for later. Overall good experience.
Lark was amazing!! Very knowledgeable and shared all the good food places!! I have been to Chicago before but had never done a tour like this one and it eas great!! Highly recommend!
Thank you for the wonderful feedback, Michelle! We're so glad you had a great time with Lark—she really knows her stuff (and where to find the best food!). It’s awesome to hear that even as a returning visitor, the tour offered something new. We appreciate the recommendation!
We enjoyed our walking food tour with Ben!!! We also had him as our guide on the architecture walking tour and he was also amazing.
Thank you so much, Wendalp! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed both tours with Ben—he’s a fantastic guide, and we’re lucky to have him. Hope to see you again on another adventure soon!
They should call this a "History of Food" tour. We were 90 minutes into a 2 hour tour before we stopped and actually had the option to get any food. After that we made 2 stops where we were told about food and given a history of food and even an Al Capone story (unrelated to food), but didn't have the opportunity to try anything. We were instead given coupons to come back another time. At the 4th stop, we could get more food, but by then we were over it so we left the tour and didn't bother going to the last stop. The tour guide himself was fine, so this is not a knock on him. But the "food" part was a disappointment. Other food tours make arrangements with the various restaurants to facilitate the stops and provide food/drinks etc. There was none of that here.
Hi Nadine, Thanks for reaching out. We appreciate your feedback and will definitely take what you said under consideration. We always strive for the best possible experience for our guests. Thank you!
Ben did a great job, the tour was interesting and informative, a little disappointed that the food on a food tour was an extra! That said I would still recommend.
