Macy's Inc. (Cincinnati) is kicking off the “Macy's Chefs A-Go-Go,” a national food truck tour showcasing Macy's Culinary Council (MCC). The tour is hitting cities nationwide and will feature a council chef at each stop cooking his or her favorite summertime recipes.

“The MCC chefs are an invaluable resource, and the tour gives them the opportunity to meet with foodies and fans across the country while sharing their expert advice and recipe ideas,” says Amy Kule, Macy's group vp of national events and partnership marketing.

The tour kicks off in Miami on June 28 at the Biscayne Triangle Truck Round-Up and continues through late summer. Stops for the Macy's-branded food truck will include Miami, New York, Boston, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Macy's Culinary Council was launched in 2003, with chefs providing expert culinary advice and leading cooking demonstrations at Macy's stores, with the aim of teaching customers how to cook and shop like a master chef.
