Wheeling's Taste of the Town is back from 5-8 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 28, at the newly redecorated Westin Chicago North Shore, 601 N. Milwaukee Ave., Wheeling, and promises to be better than ever.

A successful Taste of the Town 2014 gathered 900 attendees on-site with food tastings and beverage selections from more than 20 local restaurants and sponsors, along with live entertainment, silent auction and raffle prizes.

Presented by the Wheeling/Prospect Heights Area Chamber of Commerce & Industry, the Restaurant Row Hospitality Group, the Village of Wheeling and numerous community partners are preparing for an even bigger crowd in 2015.

Tickets may be purchased in advance for $35, available at wphchamber.com or by calling (847) 541-0170. Tickets at the door are $45.

A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Korean Cultural Center of Chicago and Wheeling Township Food Pantry. Additionally, a food drive will be held on the evening of the event to benefit the food pantry, a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization and a member of the Greater Chicago Food Depository.

The food pantry serves more than 400 low-income families every month, and guests are encouraged to bring in nonperishable canned goods including beans, soups, cereal, condiments, toiletries and other necessities.

With a "Healthy Harvest" theme for the evening, guests can expect live cooking demonstrations, live interactive musical entertainment and emcee by Carey Smolensky of Storm Interactive Entertainment and much more spread evenly throughout the Westin Chicago North Shore's spacious Ravinia Ballroom.
