Localvore Summer Dinner Series @ Gioco

The weather is warming up, farmers' markets are unfolding tents all over town, and if you're lucky enough to have a yard, gardens are bursting with early summer produce. But what if you don't have a yard, or a farmer's market, or the stamina to create your own Localvore Challenge, but still want to eat seasonal and local this summer? If you've got $65, the KDK Restaurant group has you covered with their series of summer five-course dinners featuring ingredients grown or raised in the area. For menu information and updates, visit Gioco online. 1312 S. Wabash, reservations are required. Call (312)-939-3870 to reserve a place (cost of event is $14.95), or for more information.
