Wow! Taste of Chicago might be getting a whole lot more expensive. Remember the Mayor Daley wants to privatize the massive food festival. Unfortunately, only one pitch was made to run it. According to the Sun Times, that proposal wants to charge a $20 entrance fee, which is a hell of a lot more than it used to be when it was free. Still, perhaps food vendors will have to dish out more exciting food to lure people in? Then, perhaps, critics won’t hate it so much? Just a thought. [Sun Times]
