How Do Chef Demo’s Work?

Each time we host a chef on a City Park Farmers Market Saturday, they arrive early to walk the market and find fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients. Without any preconceptions or ingredients of their own, each chef will grow inspiration from the surrounding market ingredients, then make small bite-sized dishes for customers to try for free. Chef Demo’s happen once per month this year and are designed to inspire customers with ideas on how local, in-season foods can add depth and complexity to dishes, not to mention nutritional value and a positive environmental impact. These amazing chefs come to the market without compensation, passionate simply for cooking, education, community, and in the ingredients that they source. Thank you for making our city better, chefs!
