Localvore it Up Starting this Week

Farmer's Market @ MCA, TuesdaysThe Green City Market is challenging you to eat only locally grown foods for two weeks starting this Wednesday. The Localvore Challenge means that your food has to be grown in Illinois or a bordering state, although you can establish an exceptions list of basic ingredients (olive oil, salt, pepper, vinegar, coffee, etc.). Also, if you're itching to go out to eat, a bevy of restaurants such as Lula Cafe, 312 Chicago, Le Lan and Uncommon Ground will have a menu item each night that is Localvore Challenge-friendly.
