About Us

Jennifer and Mary

When we met we quickly realized that we shared the same passion for not only cooking, and entertaining, but also for exploring and experiencing Chicago's diverse neighborhoods and special food gems. Through our adventures together, we have developed relationships and friendships with a great network of interesting, caring people involved in the Chicago food world. We look forward to sharing our favorite gems with you at Tastybeat!
