That’s a wrap on another Taste of Chicago! It’s where Eli debuted his signature cheesecake 46 years ago, and we’re proud to be the only original vendor.

2026 Highlights:
• Eli’s 1,000 lb cheesecake, led by the @shannonrovers
• An unforgettable performance from the one and only @jessewhitetumblers — who wowed Chicagoans just as much as they wowed the judges on America’s Got Talent last week!
• 20,000+ slices shared with the best cheesecake fans in the world, served by students from The Chicago High School for Agricultural Sciences, our partners for over 30 years

Thanks to everyone who celebrated with us, near and far. Until next year, Chicago!

The Bear has officially come to a close. It was a cultural moment that put Chicago’s culinary legacy front and center and showed people all over the world how great our city is.

We made our own version of the season 3 opener to pay homage :) Chicago is the best.

This Father’s Day, we celebrated Year 20 of our annual bike ride with Rudy’s Bike Shop! 🚲

More than 180 riders joined us for a 10-mile ride through the Portage Park and Dunning neighborhoods. The route was wheel-y fun (we had to include at least one dad joke!) and ended at Eli’s with cheesecake and custom shirts for everyone!

A huge thank you to our partners for helping make this community tradition possible: the 16th District Chicago Police Department, City of Chicago SAFE Ambassadors, Alderman Nick Sposato, and the Portage Park Chamber of Commerce.

We can’t wait to keep the tradition rolling — see you for Year 21?

What an honor it was to be a part of the Obama Presidential Center’s opening festivities. A celebration this big wouldn’t be complete without a giant Eli’s Cheesecake! The words from President Obama’s 50th anniversary Selma speech decorate the cake and are also reflected on the exterior of the Obama Presidential Center.

What does the cake say?

“You are America. Unconstrained by habit and convention. Unencumbered by what is, ready to seize what ought to be. For everywhere in this country, there are first steps to be taken, there is new ground to cover, there are more bridges to be crossed. America is not the project of any one person. The single most powerful word in our democracy is the word ‘We.’ ‘We The People.’ ‘We Shall Overcome.’ ‘Yes We Can.’ That word is owned by no one. It belongs to everyone. Oh, what a glorious task we are given to continually try to improve this great nation of ours.”

-President Obama, 2015
