TODAY is your last day to make it over to the 𝙏𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙜𝙤. The (FREE to attend) five day music festival brings residents and visitors together through acclaimed cuisine, live music, and Chicago pride. There’s 60 vendors, 20 food trucks, dozens of pop ups, and live music everyday. It was 𝘴𝘰𝘰𝘰𝘰 fun last night watching legendary R&B singer, song writer, producer - @Babyface perform up close. How is he 68 years old?!? 😍 Also Common, Jennifer Hudson, and Crucial Conflict were steps away. 😍 Loved witnessing so much star power! #NeverOutdoneChi

@Pepsilocaleats is celebrating the flavor of local restaurants with free events nationwide. Emmy award winning producer, reality TV star, and foodie - 𝐃𝐲𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐄𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐧 - was in Chicago at 𝐁𝐢𝐠 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫 kicking off 𝐏𝐄𝐏𝐒𝐈 𝐄𝐚𝐭𝐬 𝐅𝐞𝐬𝐭 and showing off his taco he co-created.

Starting Sunday, Pepsi is giving foodies another chance to enjoy Dylan Efron’s limited-edition fish taco with a meal deal for 50% off - including two fish tacos, a side of elote and a Pepsi for just $11.50 (regularly $23), while supplies last.

I LOVE Pepsi Local Eats! They provide restaurants with resources behind the scenes while encouraging diners to discover more neighborhood favorites. Since launching in 2024, the program has supported more than 75,000 local restaurants nationwide. Follow @Pepsilocaleats to see when they’ll be in your neighborhood!

Patio season is in full swing! Head on over to @manchamantelesrestaurant in Bucktown for an elevated take on traditional and authentic Mexican cuisine. The patio is HUGE and lively (when the weather acts right…LOL)! Or head inside to catch the World Cup.⚽️

Make sure to check out the summer specials and new cocktails. I loved the Kiwi Margarita! 🍹 AND ofcourse order a Mole item. @Chef_Geno Bahena is known as Chicago’s 𝒎𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝒎𝒐𝒍𝒆.

Did you know the @thepeninsulachi is celebrating their 25th anniversary? I was super excited to join in on this special occasion celebratory dinner party, which started with a beautiful formal invite in the mail. It’s not too often you receive that special touch nowadays. 🥰

The evening involved special speeches by Benjamin Vuchot, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of The Hong Kong and Shanghai hotels, and Maria Razumich-Zec, Regional Executive Vice President, USA and Managing Director.

I was blown away by the variety of food, desserts, cocktail stations, and the entertainment on multi levels. I arrived to a bustling blocked off street at 6pm and left at midnight. Now that was a good party. 😁Congrats on 25 Years Peninsula Chicago! 🎉 @peninsulahotels
