Chicago “The Bear” Food Tour – Group Recap (10–12 People)
No TV show has captured Chicago’s rich and diverse culinary scene quite like The Bear. The first two seasons became runaway hits -earning 13 Emmy nominations - and highlighting our city’s neighborhoods and culture in every frame.

For our group outing, we’ll be joining the YES CHEF! foodie bus tour, which takes us through the neighborhoods Carmy, Sydney, and Richie visited throughout Seasons 1 and 2. Our guide will share the history behind Chicago’s foodie scene along with fun behind-the-scenes stories from the making of the show.

We’ll stop for bites at several restaurants featured in The Bear -including the Italian beef shop that inspired the entire concept. Expect pastries, pizza, beef, noodles and more. By the end, we’ll all be saying “YES CHEF!”
