CHICAGO, May 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Wild Garden® Foods is hitting the road and sharing its love of Mediterranean food by giving back to the community with free meals. It's all part of an epic four-day food truck tour, May 15-18, through the city of Chicago, including stops at popular destinations and places in need.
