Wow, and you thought when you went to food festivals you would leave happily fed, but this was not the case at the Taste of Chicago food festival.
More than seventeen visitors to the festival have become sick, and officials are saying that several of them are sick from salmonella poisoning. Well, that’s certainly not going to be good press for the event!
All the sick folks have eaten from the same booth at the show which was serving grilled lamb and beef, pomegranate barbecued chicken, baklava, & a cucumber salad over hummus. No one is quite sure how the outbreak occurred, but several folks have had to be hospitalized for the condition.
Better luck next year…
