“Yes, Chef! Chicago : A Bear – Inspired Food Tour”

SoCal Restaurant Show

The Bear (based in Chicago) is back on Hulu for Season 3 and already attracting a lot of attention and, of course, controversy. Given that Chicago is a great food town it was only a matter of time before a savvy tour operator in the Windy City created a “The Bear” Chicago Food Tour. This has now happened with the launch of Chicago Food & City Tour’s “Yes, Chef! Chicago : A Bear – Inspired Food Tour.” Our own newly Chicago-based, informed foodie, Terri Henry, shares her recent adventure on this Chicago tour which also included as guests a Staff Writer and Photographer for The Chicago Tribune.

For the time being “this is the only Chicago food tour that takes guests to the restaurants featured in the TV phenomenon, “The Bear.” The tour takes the guests to the actual spots where Chef Carmy, Chef Sydney and Richie cook up their magic, and pairs each stop with the insider stories that connect the dots between the show’s fictional drama and Chicago as a real-life foodie destination.” And, yes, there is a stop at the real Chicago Italian Beef shop that inspired the original “Mr. Beef” in the series. Tour guests enjoy their sandwich in the dining room featured in the series.
