Our Story

Welcome to Taste Of The Windy City, where the love for food and the Windy City come together to create a culinary experience like no other. Established in 2019 by our passionate owner, Hatem Ayari, Taste Of The Windy City has become a beloved fixture in the Appleton, WI, dining scene.

Our story begins with Hatem's deep-rooted love for food and his belief in its power to bring people together. After years of working in the restaurant industry and traveling as a corporate trainer, Hatem developed a special fondness for the cuisine of Chicago during his visits to the city. In 2010, the opportunity arose for Hatem to fulfill his dream of opening his own restaurant. It was only natural that he decided to bring a Taste of The Windy City to the hungry customers in the Fox Valley.

Initially, we operated in Little Chute for nine years, serving up authentic Chicago classics such as Chicago-style hot dogs, gyros, sandwiches, burgers, subs, wraps, salads, Reubens, patty melts, Philly cheesesteaks, and more. In 2019, we expanded our presence by opening a second location right here in Appleton, WI.

At Taste Of The Windy City, we stay true to our roots. Located at 3402 N Richmond St in Appleton, WI, as well as 1800 Freedom Rd in Little Chute, WI, we are conveniently situated in the heart of the Fox Valley. Just a short drive from the Frozen Tundra, we proudly serve Windy City flavors that will keep you coming back for more.

Our commitment to quality is unwavering. Hatem and our dedicated team take pride in using only the finest ingredients in every dish we prepare. Whether you choose to dine in, carryout, or have your meal delivered through DoorDash, GrubHub, or EatStreet, you can trust that you'll receive the same exceptional taste and service that define Taste Of The Windy City.

Our slogan, "Where The Love Is," reflects our passion for both our food and our customers. We believe that great food is more than just a meal; it's an experience that brings joy and togetherness. Hatem loves serving food to people, and he doesn't take shortcuts when it comes to the quality of ingredients or the service we provide.

So, whether you're craving a mouthwatering Chicago-style hot dog, a savory gyro, an authentic Italian beef sandwich, a hearty burger, a fresh salad, a delicious wrap, or any other Windy City classic, come and visit us at Taste Of The Windy City. We're just a phone call away at (843) 670-7586, and we can't wait to share the flavors of Chicago with you right here in Appleton, WI.
