Grilling for Father's Day? Shop for Dad at Green City Market.
This Father's Day weekend, skip the trip to the local grocery store. Instead, plan your meals and more at Green City Market.
Chicago, IL, June 12, 2015 --(PR.com)-- There is no better way to have a traditional Father's Day than with delicious grilled meats and veggies that you know are sustainable and all-natural. Located in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood, Green City Market (7 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Wednesday and Saturday between Clark Street and Stockton Drive at approximately 1817 N. Clark), Green City Market Fulton in the Fulton Market District (799 W.

Let Dad fill his grill with meat bought straight from the farmers who raised it and with veggies picked the morning you buy them. While you're there, pick up a copy of the Green City Market Cookbook and discover new ways to grill the classics.
The Green City Market Cookbook is a collection of recipes gathered from our entire community of customers, volunteers, farmers and Chicago chefs. Each recipe was carefully selected by a team of culinary professionals and features the main crops of each season, and the story behind the recipe from each contributor.
The culinary talent of The Green City Market community is what makes this book unique. It's like a giant recipe swap where professional chefs, customers, and farmers exchange their favorite things to cook with the best ingredients from each season.
GCM Cookbook is available at the market as well as on the Green City Market website http://www.greencitymarket.org. The cost is $24.95.
What's in it?
Over 90 seasonal recipes based on ingredients from the market.
Appetizers, entrees, soups and desserts for each season.
Over 100 photos of the delicious dishes and their key ingredient so you know what to look for at the market.
