Taste of Chicago Turns into a Nibble January 9, 2012 I heard the news on the radio. Taste of Chicago is going to be revamped (again) for 2012. The Taste will be chopped from 10 days to 5, and moved from the 4th of July week to mid-July (July 11-15 to be exact). I had always thought that the excitement from the Taste came from its grand proportions – of food, music and crowds. Yes, I said it, the crowds. The immense, hungry crowds walking their way into Grant Park, bibs tied on to catch the drool, in anticipation of sampling the flavors that make Chicago the dining capital of the world! The Taste was the thing to do leading up to the 4th of July.
