Green City Market BBQ
A BBQ should never cost $125/person unless it's the Green City Market BBQ, which runs tonight at Lincoln Park's South end (1815 N. Clark Street) from 5:30-8pm. This benefit for the heralded farmers market features eats and drinks from 100 of the city's finest chefs. If you have the means, I highly recommend it.
