Taste of Fulton Market 2022 Announces Restaurant Lineup and Ticket Sales

2nd Year Foodie Fest Expands in Support of the IRAEF Restaurant Employee Relief Fund and Recipe for Change

CHICAGO, Aug. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Organizers of the 2nd annual Taste of Fulton Market today announced the initial wave of participating restaurants and placed a limited number of early bird tickets on sale for $75 through TasteofFultonMarket.com. On September 29th from 5 pm to 9 pm, Fulton Market area restaurants will unite to give a taste of the neighborhood in honor of its long culinary history. This year's foodie celebration sponsored by SYSCO is expanding in terms of size and scope, now taking over all of the historic Morgan's on Fulton special events building. For a second year in a row, the ultimate showcase of the Fulton Market Dining District will benefit the Illinois Restaurant Association Educational Foundation Restaurant Employee Relief Fund as well as a new charity partner, Recipe for Change, an organization that provides culinary instruction and job skills training to detainees at Cook County Jail.

"As it was in year one, our purpose for this event is to raise money for the workers on whose backs this industry is built and to bring together restaurants from the hottest dining neighborhood in the country for a day of culinary celebration and gratitude," said Morgan's owner James Geier.

Participating Taste of Fulton Market 2022 restaurants include: Rose Mary, Publican, BLVD, Gus's Fried Chicken, Chikatana, Carnivale, Marvin's Food & Fuel, Bar Takito, Kuma's Corner, Real Good Stuff, Pure Green, KOMO, Blind Barber, and more (to be announced soon). Whereas last year's Taste of Fulton Market was set exclusively in the retractable glass rooftop enclosure at Morgan's, this year's event will take over all three levels of the building adding thousands of square feet for more vendors and live entertainment from local artists. With panoramic views of Fulton Market and the Chicago skyline as the backdrop, local big-name chefs are set to amass on September 29th for cooking demos and to mingle with fans.

Guests of this year's culinary party will receive a greeting cocktail with a historical motif along with samples from participating restaurants. Admission tickets are also inclusive of beer and wine and a map of Fulton Market highlighting participating venues that they can use to redeem food items. A silent auction with prizes ranging from restaurant experiences and swag to local art and artifacts will support the partnering non-profit beneficiaries.

More About the Host Venue:
Since 1921, the invigorating corner of Morgan and Fulton has held a local friendly establishment where all have been welcome. Today, in the building's 101st year of continuous culinary operations, Morgan's on Fulton and sister venue Marvin's Food & Fuel have kept the tradition alive, giving Chicago a world-class catering and private events venue and a vibey neighborhood restaurant and bar under the same roof. Owner James Geier has always been a believer in the booming Fulton Market District, as reflected in his investment here over a decade ago. Both venues all-inclusive vision took shape to fill a void Geier felt was missing in the community.
