There’s no better way to experience a place than through its food. My home town is home to the world’s largest food festival: The Taste of Chicago. Growing up here, I’ve been to the festival many times with my family.
As one of America’s best food festivals, The Taste of Chicago dates back to 1980. A group of restaurant owners (主人) suggested the idea of a food festival. Jane Byrne, the then-mayor of Chicago, agreed. And the city has been holding the event (公开活动) ever since.
At first, The Taste of Chicago was a one-day event held on the fourth of July and about 25, 000 people enjoyed it along Chicago’s North Michigan Avenue. The event was very popular. So the next year, organisers (组织者) decided to move the place to Chicago’s famous Grant Park. Also, it grew to be a ten-day event.
Today the festival is held for five days every July and it is the city’s biggest event. About four million people go there every year. Lots of restaurants from across the city come together to show off their dishes. There are also different activities and events including concerts, rides and games.
The festival is free to get in, but if you want to enjoy the food, you must buy food tickets. The tickets come in strips (条) of 14 for $10 and you can use them for taste-size and full-size portions (份). If you want to try as many new taste experiences as you possibly can, ask for a taste-size portion. You’ll get it for anywhere between one and six tickets and up to twenty for a full-size portion.

Jack Frost is a winter character in the film Rise of the Guardians. When I was a little girl, he was my favourite winter character because, when he coloured my town white, I knew that winter had come and Christmas was near.
My mother told me once that Jack Frost, the son of the winds, did a good job of bringing the cold of winter. He was thought to leave the beautiful frosty patterns (霜花图案) on windows on cold winter mornings. I imagined him having fun in the snow and making all children have fun too. My mother told me that very few people had been able to see him, but I pictured him in my mind as someone tall and thin, with silver hair, winter-white skin (皮肤) and with icicles (冰柱) on his clothes.
When the north wind started to blow ( 刮), my mum used to tell me in a soft singing voice, “Jack Frost is coming!” and I used to think “Yes, he is … and so is Christmas!” When I went to bed at night I could see him in my dream leaving ice paintings all over the town with his fingers on the windows. It was exciting to get up in the morning and see his beautiful artwork on my own bedroom window. Then, I used to put on my warm clothes and run out to meet my friends in the park.
Those times are faraway memories (遥远的记忆), but I still get excited when the north wind begins to blow. I always tell my little grandchildren in a sweet voice, just like my mother used to, “Jack Frost is coming!”
