Taste of Chicago Preview Today!

A selection of the new vendors, including Texas de Brazil, Lao Sze Chuan, Beggars Pizza and Chicago Sweet Connection Bakery, will be on hand, according to the Sun-Times, which recommends Lao Sze Chuan's Dry Chili Chicken (we'd have to agree). Though, if it actually gets to 98 degrees, going outside to hunt down inferno-chicken might not be quite as popular.

The preview will run from 11-2, and will include a total of 9 vendors. The preview is cash only. Adobo Grill, Manny's, Robinson's No. 1 Ribs, Connie's Pizza and Polo Cafe will round out the selection - nothing like a huge corned beef sandwich on the hottest day of the year so far.
