Taste of Chicago Highlights - Day 7

It may be the seventh day of the Taste, but there's no resting here. Berghoff's, White Sox, and Neil Diamond? Yep, it's a good day.

Cooking Corner

A fourth generation member of one of Chicago's well-known restaurant families, Carlyn Berghoff (3pm) will be on hand. Any Chicago foodie worth their sea salt has heard of Alpana Singh, and the celebrity sommelier will be on stage at 4pm.

Family Village & Fun Time Stage

Parents want their kids to be healthy, but sometimes it can be a struggle to tear them away from assorted electronic devices and to get them to eat something that has more color than a desert landscape. Today's your chance to help them help you. From the Fun Time Stage they can learn how to make healthy snacks with The Spatulatta Girls (2:15pm), Stretch-n-Grow with Fabulously Fun Fitness (1pm), and Hip-Hop Yoga (3:15pm). And Giant Twister is back. Hmm - do you have to be a kid for this?

Taste Sports! Pavilion

We're smack dab in the middle of baseball season, but the Chicago White Sox have time to stop by the Taste to say hello to fans. Pretty cool, guys.

The Music

Yesterday tribute bands took over the Illinois Lottery Stage. Tonight super tribute band Superdiamond will perform Neil Diamond's "America", "I Am...I Said", "Forever In Blue Jeans" and more in the Petrillo Music Shell. Afrodisiacs, a fun funky disco cover band, opens for them. On the Lottery stage local music label Thrill Jockey Records showcases their artists.
