What a perfect 4th of July weekend. The market was buzzing today with a great crowd and so many new items available every week now. I picked up some beautiful Blueberries from Seedling Farms which we are using in a tartlet right now. It’s only a month away before we have a dinner with Outstanding in the Field at Grant Park with Growing Power Farms. I am very excited to be working with Erika and Will Allen on this dinner. Justin and I were working on the menu today and we are both looking forward to the event.
Some great events are coming up this month starting with the Green City Market BBQ on Thursday the 15th. I believe this year will be the biggest turnout ever for the event. After the weather we had last year, we are due to have a beautiful night for it this year!! On the following Thursday the 22nd we are participating in the Chefs and the City event at the Peninsula Hotel which benefits Vital Bridges. It is going to be a great night for a great cause.
Our patio has been rocking with the nice weather. Let’s hope it stays this way and we hope to see you here soon!!
