Those were just some of the offerings at the Taste of Chicago, which wrapped up its five-day run Sunday.
It was the first year of a revamped Taste of Chicago, which was shorter and later than in previous years. Attendance was about half what it was last year, while the event was also shortened from 10 to five days.
