OK FOLKS! Last night was magical dinner. Huge thank you to and the rest of their amazing staff.! Blown away with their hospitality and incredible food. Thank you so much for the opportunity to be involved in such an incredible evening.

ATTENTION ALL
The is closed today due to losing power once again. Our case refrigeration system has been down since last night, all product in the cases is a total loss.

This is once again an urgent example of why we need backup generators for the food systems
This is a public safety issue, a food safety issue, and it needs to be addressed immediately. Until we have backup generators, this will not stop happening because is not capable of providing an adequate power feed to this historic and iconic institution.

On a personal note, I am devastated. The crew was looking forward to serving you today, and we are sorry that can’t happen.

BACKUP. GENERATORS. Public safety, public interest, public market.

While the West Side Market’s master plan has teased renovations like adding a teaching kitchen and creating a designated section of the market for vendors offering prepared food, the changes that vendors are looking forward to the most are not glamorous.

Amanda Chucray, the owner of J & J Czuchraj Meats, the oldest business at the market, said that a teaching kitchen where chefs could do cooking demonstrations for kids on field trips and other market visitors would be “a dream.” But basic fixes need to come first, she said.

“It’s actually not all the shiny things,” Chucray said. “Our basement is so, so, so outdated and not functional. And obviously, we’re having a lot of leaking and roof problems. So those are the two things that I would really advocate for.”

The need for repairs at the market has made the space unreliable at times, and this affects vendors’ day-to-day work running their businesses, vendors said.

“It feels like it’s always something,” said Beth Bowman, the owner and managing operator of Vera's Bakery. “Everything’s going OK, and then maybe the elevator doesn’t work, or there’s a leak in the stairs, or there isn’t adequate lighting, or downstairs is very wet, or the coolers aren’t working, or a case isn’t working, or your case lights aren’t working.”
