Entrances: Michigan/Jackson, Michigan/Congress Parkway, Columbus/Monroe, Columbus/Balbo, Lakeshore Drive/Jackson.
Cost: Admission to the Taste is free, as is lawn seating for the musical performances throughout the day.
Strips of 12 tickets (for both food and drink) run $8 (ugh, plus a $2 fee). Smaller “taste”-sized portions of signature restaurant items will be available for fewer tickets (approximately 1-5).
Last call for ticket sales each day: 8:30 p.m.
Food: Taste options for 2013 will be a mix of traditional restaurant booths, food trucks, pop-up restaurants that change the menu each day, and the fancy-schmancy Chef Du Jour meals for those who want to pony up $40 to eat celebrity chef-prepared dishes in air-conditioned comfort.
