Chicago's premier local food festivalChicago's premier local food festival, Chef BBQ is back for its twenty-first year, celebrating the best of the Midwest. In a food festival unlike any other, 100+ of Chicago’s top restaurants, brewers, winemakers, and mixologists provide tasting portions of locally-inspired dishes and craft beverages highlighting ingredients from Green City Market’s local, sustainable farmers. Plus, Chef BBQ's not just about barbecue — featuring fresh, peak season flavors and vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free options, there's something for everyone. Chef BBQ is also kid-friendly. Looking to bring kids ages 12 and under? Email bbq@greencitymarket.org for more info. What's even more delicious?
