Taste of Chicago Lineup Announced

It's more than just the length of the Taste of Chicago festival that's getting downsized; there'll be fewer restaurants this year as well. 

The festival, which has lost money in the past, will run five days -- half its length last year. There will also be 37 restaurants manning stalls for the full festival, down from 57 last year. Only one is new to the Taste: Pazzo's, which will serve a chicken Vesuvio sandwich, chopped salad and tiramisu.

There will be 15 other new restaurants at this year's Taste, but as "pop-up" restaurants will only have booths for one day. WTTW's Check, Please! helped curate the pop-up restaurant selection for the festival.

Taste of Chicago will run July 11-15 in Grant Park.
