One of Chicago's greatest events is almost upon us- the Green City Market Chef BBQ will bring in over 100 of Chicago's best restaurants, showing off their Top Chefs and Mixologists to provide tastes of local, sustainable heirloom produce and heritage meats from Green City Market Farmers. This will take place tomorrow, July 19, from 5:30-8PM at the usual spot, south end of Lincoln Park (1817 N Clark St). Tickets for this event can be purchased for $125 each here. 

Some of the featured restaurants include Bad Hunter, bellyQ, Frontera Grill, Longman & Eagle, Parachute, Honey Butter Fried Chicken, Big Jones, The Publican, while some of the beverage purveyors involved include Begyle Brewing, Half Acre, Koval, Revolution, Sparrow Coffee.

Proceeds from this event supports the Green City Market's year round market and community programs. 

Chicago Beer Classic

I may be a huge wine guy, but I love my beer, and there is no better event for brews than the Chicago Beer Classic, which takes place tomorrow in Soldier Field, and not only gives you a chance to walk on the field, but also to try out over 50 brews from over 30 local breweries! Try out beers from Half Acre, Finch Beer Co, Pollyanna, Brickstone, Exit Strategy, Bell's, Pipeworks and many more. There are two sessions: 11:30am-2:30pm and 4:30pm-7:30pm. I suggest going VIP for more tastes, access, and 30 extra minutes- worth the splurge. 

If you haven't made plans, grab your tickets here and go!
