Those days of standing in line with a wad of tickets in your hand, sweaty and annoyed by the crush of human traffic around you, just to get a breaded steak sandwich and Rainbow Cone, are on hold for now. Today sees the launch of “Taste of Chicago To-Go,” a virtual expression of the annual Taste of Chicago festival in Grant Park.

The “virtual” event includes a Dining Guide, listing featured items at participating restaurants. Each restaurant listing indicates how one can pick up their food (curbside, carry-out, delivery) and listings are broken down by category (Desserts, Classic Chicago, Ethnic and Neighborhood). “Taste To-Go” also features daily online programming, including cooking demonstrations from Tzuco, Luella’s Southern Kitchen and Monteverde. Revered Chicago musician Jon Langford is one of the acts performing in “Millennium Park at Home” Thursday night.

Welcome to the new normal. Eating goat tacos in Grant Park will have to wait for now.
