"Here's the secret.. get a different food tour."
Our family went on the Secret Food Tours of Chicago. It was a mediocre but expensive experience. We paid $89 per ticket, no drinks. This cost is within 20% of other food tour costs, so I thought "okay".. well the extra money was not worth it. Our first stop was Gino's East pizza.. not a very large slice of pizza, but still "okay" because Gino's is excellent pizza.. next stop was Fannie Mae Candies, where the clerk put out a small tray of foil wrapped chocolate, not any of their crafted candies, and said "We did not sell these at Thanksgiving, you are welcome to one and let me know if you want to buy anything from the case".. wow.. "not okay"..Next stop at Italian Village for an excellent roast beef sandwich and after that a very mediocre hot dog. I have been on food tours in Greenwich Village and Rekjavik Iceland. This one had an unenthuisastic guide, few stops.. the Fannie Mae was a major disappointment, and cost more than the others. I was not impressed. This company heard they could make money running food tours and that is what they do... that's my impression.
