Make reservations soon for popular Cook’s Tour of Downtown

The third annual “A Cook’s Tour of Downtown” Rockford will be from 5 to 10 p.m. Thursday, June 18.

Last year, eight eateries served sample-sized portions of gourmet foods ranging from almond-crusted scallops to seared yellowfin tuna with cucumber jicama salad. The first two years, the tour sold out. It was started when chef and TV star Anthony Bourdain came to town as part of the now-defunct One Book, One Rockford program run by the Rockford Public Library.

Cost is $40, plus tip, this year, up from $35 last year and $25 the year before. More details will be released in the coming weeks. For a reservation, call 815-964-6221 or go riverdistrict.com or to the River District Office at 127 N. Wyman, second floor; or call 815-969-7990 or go to Chocolat by Daniel, 221 E. State St.

The library, the River District and Chocolat by Daniel are presenting the event.
