Chef Ina Pinkney, a Chicago Market Owner, with Market founder Greg Berlowitz.

 

Dear Friend,

My name is Ina Pinkney, and for 23 years, I served breakfast to the people of Chicago at Ina’s. I’ve been on television, cooked for celebrities, ran for mayor and written a book. I’m also proud to be an Owner of Chicago Market.

 

As a member of Chicago’s restaurant community for 23 years, I always led the way on both food and social issues that affected us all.

In 2005, as co-founder of the Green Chicago Restaurant Coalition, I helped organize chefs and restaurateurs to pass the smoking ban in Chicago. Now, we’re organizing to fight the use of antibiotics by industrial meet producers.

I followed the same ethos in my restaurant. When I put on my chef's jacket every day for those 23 years, it was my clear commitment to serve safe and healthy food in a safe and healthy environment. The decisions I made about the ingredients we used were carefully considered, and everything was carefully sourced. We were one of the first to use transfat-free oil and pasteurized eggs. I know that it’s important to know what you are eating.

Joining Chicago Market’s community of mindful people who want to shop and support a store that will be run by an elected board, chosen by its members, and will inform, educate and delight all who shop there, is a natural extension of my mission and my career. That’s why I’m proud to be an Owner of Chicago Market.

My Mantra: We see and act on the future. Our eyes are focused on where the puck is going!
