    The Ferris wheel made its debut at the 1893 World’s Colombian Exposition, also known as the Chicago World’s Fair. (Some of the famous buildings and other structures, especially on/near the University of Chicago campus, are from that World’s Fair.)
    The food wheel is a neat tribute to that piece of Chicago history.

    Finally you guys are in my neck of the woods, yay! stuff I can actually go try! lol Love your vids been watching for a long time 😊 If you've never tried Fogo De Chao or Cooper's Hawk I highly recommend it. Cooper's Hawk you show up early for wine tasting before your meal which is very affordable and delicious
