That’s a wrap on a busy final day of the Taste o That’s a wrap on a busy final day of the Taste of Park Ridge. Great time hanging with neighbors, @parkridgechamber friends, fellow @falconsfootballcheer coaches, magazines clients, fellow volunteers and plenty of other fun people. Always cool to see our community put on such a well-run, family-friendly event. Kudos to this year’s committee for a job well done.
Rock solid first day of the Taste of Park Ridge, e Rock solid first day of the Taste of Park Ridge, even if a monsoon forced us to take cover and get cozy with a few dozen folks for a bit. The fun continues today and Saturday. Can’t wait to grab some more food andd drink, see some familair faces and rock out with Kashmir!

Talk about a must order when my neighbors get toge Talk about a must order when my neighbors get together at the @the_beacon_tap in Des Plaines. As appetizers go, the trash can nachos represent the perfect combination of presentation, portion size and scrumptious, melty, messy goodness. Perfectly sharable as a large group appetizer — or perhaps even as a meal for 2-3 people — the show, which is sure to draw attention from nearby patrons, begins when a giant bottomless silver bucket arrives at the table for all to gawk at. The server then slowly pulls the bucket up, sending a cascade of nachos, cheese, meat, jalapenos, green onions and tomatoes tumbling evenly onto the tray below — with onions, guacamole and pico de gallo expertly situated to the side. Feel free to add pork, chicken, chorizo, chili, steak or brisket to the mix. The smoked brisket, for what it’s worth, tends to sway us every time. Read more about Beacon Tap’s trash can nachos and 10 more appetizers from favorite restaurants in the area in our recent feature at TheRealParkRidge.com
