On Wednesday, May 11, GCM was lucky enough to kick off our Culinary Demos program this season with Chef Paul Virant of Vie, Vistro Prime, and Gaijin. Chef Virant joined GCM and demoed his Asparagus stir fry recipe from his West Loop restaurant Gaijin. The recipe featured fresh produce from longtime GCM vendor Mick Klug Farm. Stop by the Lincoln Park market this Saturday to shop the ingredient list and be sure to tag @greencitymarket in your takes on Chef’s recipe.
