A Celebration of Gastric Porportion

Whether it’s a slice of Americana, South of the Border, a cheese covered Central Illinois original, Mambo Italiano, or a craving for some down-home comfort, Illinois Times has a passport to celebrate your love for local and not-so-local cuisine. We set aside parts of the year so you can indulge in some of your favorite foods. We kick things off in February with our famous 217BurgerWeek and continue through 2025 with Nachos, Tacos, Margaritas, Pony/Horseshoes, Pasta, Burgers Part Deux, and cap it off with Down Home Comforts. Join us on this culinary journey through your favorite foods with unique concoctions from your favorite local restaurants.
