Only 8 days until Chef BBQ Green City Market

On September 10, Chef Geno Bahena joins Chicago’s top culinary talent at Green City Market in Lincoln Park for an annual celebration of local food and the farmers who grow it.

For the occasion, Chef Geno is bringing a special tostada:

Mole Blanco Xanath Mushroom Tostada

Shiitake and portobello mushrooms from River Valley Ranch & Kitchens , Chef Geno’s iconic Mole Blanco Xanath, toasted chile pasilla–pepita crumble, chile pasilla oil and tender herbs, finished on a crisp tostada made with La Cosecha | Tortilleria & Grocer | Madison, WI

Savory, earthy and aromatic. The depth of mole, the char of the mushrooms and the crunch of toasted chile pasilla in one bite.

September 10 | 5–8 PM
Green City Market | Lincoln Park

We’ll see you at Chef BBQ.

Yesterday at Copitas del Sol, we brought Manchamanteles to the National Museum of Mexican Art for an evening celebrating Mexican food, art, spirits, and culture alongside an incredible group of chefs, restaurants, and brands.

For the evening, we presented two of Chef Geno Bahena’s moles:

Mole Verde de los Bosques from Guerrero with charred maitake mushrooms in a crisp mini taco shell.

Mole Negro del Inframundo from Oaxaca with birria in a crisp mini taco shell.

At the bar, in collaboration with Tamarico to create a fresh pineapple and tamarind margarita with lime and Tamarico liqueur.

Thank you to the National Museum of Mexican Art for having us and to everyone who joined us for such a beautiful evening.

In the warmer months, our outdoor space expands into the parking lot, creating an open-air setting for gatherings, celebrations, and long summer dinners. And when the season changes, our parking lot returns to guest parking for an easy, comfortable visit.

Whether you’re planning a birthday, corporate gathering, family celebration, or simply bringing a large group together, we’re ready to host.

Gather around the table. We’ll take care of the rest.
