Mightybytes sponsors Andersonville Farmers Market, Wed. July 13th
As part of the week-long celebration of living green, Mightybytes is sponsoring the eco-friendly Andersonville Farmers Market.
We’ll have fun with a glammed up, wi-fi enabled photo booth where you can get photos taken and share them with friends and family via social networks. Plus, a few of the Mightycrew will be on hand to talk about digital media, becoming an eco-Andersonville certified workplace, or how we pair pixels with produce during our weekly “Lunch-n-Learn sessions.”
Is visiting one of Chicago’s awesome farmers markets on your summer’s “To check out” list but you have yet to make it happen? Do you share Tim Frick’s fascination with Chopped? Try your hand at grabbing a few random local ingredients and creating your own gastronomic delights a la the famed Food Network show.
Tim’s first Lunch-n-Learn concoction consisted of the following:
- Farro Risotto with Andouille sausage, asparagus, and crimini mushrooms:
- Caramelized kohlrabi with radishes, pearl onions and arugula:
Andersonville’s Farmer’s Market is full of local vendors showcasing their great selection of local (and mostly organic) meats, pastas, veggies, fruits, preserves, oils, breads and even truffles and ice cream….And tons of samples! It’s the perfect place to rip through and grab ingredients for tomorrow’s dinner or stroll though leisurely while tasting the vendors’ labors of love. If you don’t believe us, check out their Farmer’s Market video and their Yelp! page.
Wednesday is considered “Hump day” and at our neighborhood market you can find some excellent artisan goods to compliment that great wine or beer that will go so well with a mid-week meal. The Farmer’s Market is open from 3:00 - 8:00 PM. Hope to see you there!
