The 2009 Green City Market Chef's Summer BBQ will be held in Lincoln Park on Thursday, July 16, from 6-8 pm.
One of the best summer events in Chicago, this grand picnic is held every July in the lovely Lincoln Park, with the fabulous Chicago skyline as a backdrop. This beautiful venue is ideal to showcase some of Chicago’s finest chefs. All of their dishes are prepared using the bounty of the market. Every year more chefs join the BBQ to show off the best of Chicago's culinary talent. This year we will have more than 65 chefs providing dishes. In addition to food, locally made beer, wine, and beverages will be available. Tickets are available here online, at any of our Illinois Spice House locations, and at the actual market on Wednesdays and Saturdays, at the information table. This event will sell out, which means that you will not be able to purchase tickets at the door, so be sure you get your tickets before then. You don't want to miss the delicious food and drink, music, and the beauty of Lincoln park on a summer evening.
Individual tickets are sold out. A limited number of VIP tickets are available only through the Green City Market office by calling (773) 880-1266. There are two levels of VIP ticket this year: The Heirloom level, which is a reserved table for 10 with the services of a waiter, and the Heritage level, for a table for 10 with no waiter. Heirloom tickets are $2500 per table and Heritage are $1500 per table. The last day to purchase a table is July 13th.
This event is outdoors and will be held rain or shine, so be prepared for inclement weather. Dogs and other animals are not allowed.
