Went to this event a few years ago and absolutely loved it. I just looked up the info, pricing has changed a bit but not by much (which I'll list below). It's a lot lower key than the Taste of Chicago which for me is a good thing. Last time I went several 4 star restaurants even had food trucks out.
As for the ride it will be the usual nice backroads. This is a route I put together earlier this year leaving from my house (which I'll be adjusting to leave from LS) that I dubbed the "Mini Loop the Lake". It does just that, loops around Lake Geneva and hits up Snake Road before ending in downtown Lake Geneva.
Event Details:
Join us for the 8th annual Taste of Lake Geneva — featuring the best fare in the Lake Geneva area — from deep fried cheese curds to barbecued ribs, delicious homemade soups to tempting desserts! Local artists will entertain you with their tunes as you taste your way through the best of the best vendors in town all with an amazing lake view!
This is a public event started by Jim and Debbie McHugh. More information will becoming soon, but it is a great event for a wonderful cause. Let's do this one this year in memory of our friend Jim and to help Debbie continue the wonderful working they both started.

This time we're headed to downtown Elgin, again another place I'm sure you guys aren't used to going to 🙂 Nice easy going ride, sneaking in as many back roads as I could given we're going to downtown Elgin. Didn't want to re-use the same roads I took you guys on to get to Gnarly Knots so we'll head west past Fox River before heading south.
Info on destination: One of the absolute best Sunday Brunch Buffets I've ever had in my life. They do even BETTER ones on holiday's (such as father's/mother's day) but even the normal one is pretty damn awesome. It's a somewhat fusion buffet of traditional brunch dishes as well as "high end" irish pub food. I'll be making a Facebook post in the group channel to get a head count a day or two in advance so keep an eye out. If you're not part of the group please shoot me an email at n.strom86@gmail.com Don't miss out!
