We recently enjoyed Tastebud Tours’ 3.5 hour walking food tour of the “Magnificent Mile” in Chicago, IL. Real estate developer Arthur Rubloff gave the nickname to the city’s most prestigious residential and commercial thoroughfares in the 1940’s. Today, it’s Chicago’s largest shopping district and also includes fine restaurants, hotels, and skyscrapers.
We enjoyed the tour because it effectively showcased the history of the area and how food shaped, commemorated and celebrated that history. We ate Chicago style pizza, Chicago hot dogs and even sampled the Cheezborger, Cheezborger, Cheezborger (No Pepsi…Coke) from the Billy Goat Tavern. The experience got us thinking about Indiana originals. What restaurants are our icons? What foods were created here that shape, commemorate and celebrate Hoosiers? We would love to hear your thoughts! And Yes, We are aware of the pork tenderloin sandwich...check out all the websites dedicated to the Hoosier classic
