Chicago, Illinois (Episode #6)
Chicago is also known as the Second City,
but Taste of Life would hardly describe the fine dining scene in
Chicago as second to anything. We'll watch the innovative Executive
Chef of Gordon Restaurant create a unique and succulent dish that
would certainly impress even the most critical of connoisseurs.
Outside of Chicago, Taste of Life we'll visit a remarkable, humanitarian
woman and her very special herb garden. Not only does she grow and
package homegrown herbs, but she also opens her garden to chefs
for cooking lessons and to the local hospital for patient therapy,
utilizing her home grown bounty.

clientele."
