Green City Market (GCM), the nonprofit organization behind the sustainable farmers' market, is partnering with Dorothy’s Bistro to host an evening of local food, beverages, and conversation on Wednesday, November 16 at 6:00 p.m.

Dorothy’s Bistro, formerly Flat & Point, is a new concept for owners Brian and Taylor Bruns. Dorothy’s Bistro is located in Logan Square and features a small rotating menu full of alpine-inspired dishes. The menu for this Sustainable Supper will include three courses highlighting seasonal ingredients from Green City Market vendors and showcasing Chef Brian’s alpine-inspired technique. 

The most recent installment of the Sustainable Supper Series took place earlier this month at Bungalow by Middle Brow where panelists Peter Ternes, Middle Brow owner, and Marty Travis of Spence Farm discussed the importance of sustainable collaborations in farming with a particular focus on the relationships between farmers and restaurants. 

For the final installment of the 2022 Sustainable Supper Series, panelists will dive further into these relationships and look specifically at how our local food ecosystem works together in times of crisis. 

"In a world where you can get anything, from anywhere, at any point; sometimes the quality of getting something local and made with love is overlooked,” said Taylor Bruns. “Having access to such great producers and farmers of produce, meats, and dairy helps to support the community that surrounds you. We are better and stronger when we work together.”

The panel discussion will be moderated by Mandy Moody, Executive Director of GCM. Joining Moody on the panel will be Alex Finn, owner of Finn’s Ranch, who will be discussing how their community came together in their recent time of crisis. 

Tickets include a locally- and sustainably-sourced three-course meal with beverage pairings and a tip for service staff. Proceeds from this event series will support Green City Market's 501c3 nonprofit mission to support local, sustainable farmers, educate our community about where food comes from and why this knowledge matters, and expand food access in Chicago.

Tickets can be purchased via Tock at www.greencitymarket.org/sustainable-supper-series. GCM’s Sustainable Supper Series.
