How could you not love a good food tour? All you do is follow the guide, listen to the historical and food-related information, and sample delicious food. Plus you get to walk some of it off, meet some cool people (hopefully), and see where you want to explore in the city (if you do this early in your trip). You don't get much time (if any) to shop at each stop, but usually the stops are close enough to each other that you can always return. I think the best part about going on a food tour is that you get to sample a variety of things from different places all within two hours or so.
I've gone on all of these tours with my parents and brother. Thank goodness they enjoy food and trying new things like me! I'd have to say that my favorite tour was the Chicago Food Planet Tour because the samples were the best in taste and size. All were great, and I'd recommend food tours to people who love food and trying new things. See below for a summary and links to each stop!
