Drawing Room

Next week the Chicago Green City Market moves outdoors and into full bloom in Lincoln Park.  This year-round farmers’ market is an excellent source of local produce and meats, connecting local farmers with hungry Chicagoans every Wednesday and Saturday.

Nick and Charles are looking forward to having the market back and utilizing the freshest ingredients possible in the new spring menu.  The start of the season is always full of asparagus and rhubarb, which peaks in the Midwest this time of year.  Chef Nick is taking advantage of these great ingredients in the new Pork Porterhouse.  A 12oz organic pork chop served with rhubarb, grilled asparagus, preserved Meyer lemon, and marjoram.

Rain or shine, Chef Nick will be cruising the market stalls next week and bring these fresh local ingredients to your plate in the Drawing Room!

Details on the market:
May-October
Wednesdays & Saturdays
7:00am-1:00pm
South end of Lincoln Park

Chicago Social Magazine recently published a round-up of great steak tartares in the city and we’re pleased to see the Drawing Room on the list.  Chef Nick’s tartare is a delicious blend of truffle mayo and flank steak that pairs beautifully with his perfectly crafted “frites”.
