Seasonal Chi Food Truck Fest Returns With Rally at Daley Plaza Every Friday | Eater Chicago

"This downtown plaza at 50 W. Washington Street becomes a lively lunchtime destination each Friday during the season, hosting a weekly food-truck festival that offers a welcome, seasonal break from overpriced chain lunches and brown-bag monotony. Running from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Fridays (May 16 through October 3 for the current season), the event gathers a rotating lineup of vendors beneath the shadow of the plaza’s iconic Picasso sculpture, serving everything from pizza and Southern comfort food to desserts. Organized by the city’s Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection, the series — now in its tenth season — adds new vendors each year and announces participants via the city’s social channels; it’s become a much-anticipated way for downtown workers to get some fresh air and variety at lunchtime." - Serena Maria Daniels
