The Taste of Chicago is always a huge success, but what if you want to try some stellar offerings from restaurants a little closer to home? That's exactly what you can do at the Oak Park-River Forest Chamber of Commerce's third annual Bite Nite, happening at the 19th Century Club (178 Forest Ave., Oak Park, IL 60301) on Friday, January 27 from 5:30pm to 9:30pm.
 
Bite Nite offers a chance to sample everything from soup to chocolate, all created by local restaurant owners right here in the Oak Park area. With more than 40 different participating restaurants, you're sure to find your new food favorites. While you're enjoying the food, there will also be live music, craft beer and wine for sale, and chances to win gift certificates to local restaurants.
 
Tickets are already on sale at FoodieFest.net and space is limited. In the past, over 400 people attended Bite Nite and we are expecting to sell out again. Individual tickets are $35 each. Or, bring friends or family and get a pack of 4 tickets for only $120. Compare dishes and see how different flavors appeal to different people.
 
But Bite Nite is just the beginning! It’s the kick-off to Foodie Fest “restaurant week”, in which participating restaurants will be offering a prix fixe menu of three items or courses for either $10, $20, or $30 depending on the restaurant. Foodie Fest specials are only available January 27 through February 4.
 
Any business in the food industry is welcome to participate in Bite Nite, Foodie Fest, or both, regardless of Chamber Membership status. Sponsorship Opportunities are also available and open to all.
