Chicago's premier local food festivalChicago's premier local food festival, Chef BBQ is back for its twenty-second 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. What's even more delicious? Your attendance benefits Green City Market’s 501(c)(3) 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. Chef BBQ happens rain or shine. Refunds will not be processed for any reason. |
