Publican Quality Meats (825 W. Fulton Market) starts an outdoor grilling series on Sunday; chefs from PQM will be joined by John Anderes of Telegraph to create dinner (complete with cocktails, sides and dessert--seafood and vegetarian options, too) for you and your crew; event runs 3-8pm, and is expected to be under $17. If you want to go a little higher up on the scale, the Green City Market BBQ (July 12) brings a plethora of chefs together (over 100!) to Lincoln Park to grill up the season's finest; cocktails, beer and soda will be provided. Tickets $125-250; kids eat for $25.
