Green City Market to Kick Off 2023 Sustainable Supper Series at Michelin-Recognized Restaurant, Eden

Green City Market (GCM), the nonprofit organization behind Chicago’s premier sustainable farmers’ market, is hosting its first installment of the 2023 Sustainable Supper Series at The Paramount Group’s Avondale-based restaurant, Eden. The event takes place on from 6 to 9 p.m. Tuesday, March 21, and tickets will include a specialty cocktail (or mocktail), a three-course meal sourced locally and sustainably from Green City Market farmers, and a live panel discussing the important impact that farmers’ markets have on the local food system.

VIP guests will also enjoy wine pairings, private dining
rooms, and an exclusive tour of Eden’s onsite greenhouse, where they grow many of the ingredients showcased on their menu. The panel discussion will feature long-time GCM farmer and board member, Abby Schilling of Mick Klug Farm, alongside Marc Luff of Flatwater Farms who just completed their first season with GCM. The panel will be moderated by Green City Market Executive Director, Mandy Moody.

Eden, led by The Paramount Group’s Chief Culinary Officer Devon Quinn, was recently named one of the most sustainable restaurants in the United States and is one of Green City Market’s top wholesale shoppers, directly shopping with farmers at the markets. “It is my view that the patrons of Eden deserve the best that the Midwest has to offer,” shared Quinn. “Green City Market is the forum that allows me to hand select local ingredients, at their peak. It gives me a true understanding of seasonality, and the hard work and thought that goes
into growing. The market inspires me every time I visit.”
