With 23 Michelin-rated restaurants, it's no surprise that Chicago recently ranked high on a Wallethub's list of Best 'Foodie' Cities in the U.S. However, one event dubbed the "Chicago Foodie Lovers Tour" -- at $532.50 per ticket -- has created some food-centered controversy.

The four-hour walking tour, listed as a "private and all-inclusive" event on FeverUp, a website that sells tickets to various entertainment experiences and tours in cities across the world, is described as one that takes customers "to the most iconic and delicious spots in Chicago all in one day. If you are looking for a little bit of culture, great photos, and a ton of delicious food," the event listing reads, "then this is the tour for you."

According to the tour description, the event includes five food items — a Portillo's hot dog, a small Garrett's popcorn, a six-inch Al's Italian beef sandwich, a slice of deep dish pizza and a Do-Rite Donut — along with bottle of water, and an Uber ride.

The event listing also includes "entry" to the Wrigley Building and Tribune Tower, both of which are free for the public to visit.

One of the last stops on the tour, the listing says, is a visit to Buckingham Fountain in Grant Park. However, according to the Chicago Park District, the Clarence F. Buckingham Fountain is closed for the season.

I got a groupon for this for $300. Pretty good value to get 40% off.
