Ramp It Up, I'll Take It
With the long, harsh winter we've had this year, it's odd to reassure yourself that there's an actual end to the cold and snow. The first culinary sign that winter is on its way out? Ramps, a tasty onion-like green (aka wild leek), which will begin blooming later this month. It's only fitting that the city whose name means "land of the wild onion" would have a celebration of this heralded ingredient. Support The Land Connection while chowing down on dishes made of ramps at this year's RampFest, which will take place March 28. Dishes made with locally grown ramps from restaurants such as Blackbird, Vie and Lula Cafe will be served. Tickets are $75 (until this Friday!), and then will range from $90-120; event starts at 7pm at Prairie Production, 1314 W. Randolph Street.
