Chef BBQ: Presented by Green City Market

September 14, 2022

Chef BBQ 2022

Give me all the food, please! I attended Chef BBQ, presented by Green City Market, in Lincoln Park for the first time this year. This one-day food festival featured over 100 of Chicago’s top restaurants, brewers, winemakers, and mixologists by offering sample-size tastings. Contrary to the event’s name, the food at Chef BBQ was not just barbecue cuisine, but rather a variety of different dishes. Sustainability was highlighted throughout the entire event and its’ vendors. Attendance benefited Green City Market’s nonprofit mission to secure the future of food by deepening support for sustainable farmers, educating our community about where food comes from and why it matters, and expanding access to locally-grown food. Below were my favorite dishes of the night!

Chef BBQ Event Details

Chef BBQ was a well-organized event! It was easy to check in and get the appropriate GA or VIP wristbands. The size of each tasting was the perfect amount, and we were really able to discover a variety of restaurants and cuisine. I definitely recommend the festival and will be attending again next year!
