In response to the sometimes disappointing nature of outdoor festivals, Sportsman's Club in Ukrainian Village has created a vibrant Backyard BBQ Series that has become a beloved Sunday tradition. This event showcases unique dishes from acclaimed chefs and new talent, providing a relaxed atmosphere for guests. Expanding on this success, Maria's Community Bar and Kimski are launching Maria's Tuesday Patio Jam series this summer to further promote local South Side chefs. Chef Won Kim aims to highlight lesser-known culinary voices, ensuring that everyone has a chance to shine within the city's dining landscape.
Kimski chef Won Kim emphasized the need to highlight lesser-known chefs, stating, 'The South Side falls outside of the zeitgeist of the food world.'
The series started in 2017 and has sparked similar events across the city, showcasing a community spirit in dining and representation.
Kim noted, 'This is a good opportunity to have them all in the same room and on the same level,' highlighting the importance of local culinary talent.
Inspired by the success of the Backyard BBQ Series, Kim asked, 'Why not make Tuesdays a thing?' promoting weekly communal dining experiences.
