Tasting Table Prepping For Two-Day Market

Mott Street will be there. Will you?

Tasting Table is getting ready for what looks to be the first market of its kind in Chicago. The Tasting Table Open Market, a food bazaar and holiday shopping experience, takes place December 6 and 7  downtown. The two-day market will feature a handpicked group of more than 50 of Chicago’s best chefs, pastry chefs and artisan producers selling products, food and gifts, to help raise funds for Share Our Strength, the event’s official beneficiary.

The Market will kick off on Friday with a night market showcasing more than 30 restaurants from across the city, including Mott St., La Sirena Clandestina, Blackbird, Acadia, Fish Bar and Travelle. All of these vendors will be offering a selection of creative bites with bars pouring custom cocktails and Negro Modelo beer. The market continues on Saturday with a daytime artisan food fair featuring a curated list of 40+ vendors peddling small-batch products, holiday gifts and more signature food items to enjoy on-site.
