Had so much fun doing some food pr0n with Rachelle Bowden at the Publican that we decided take an encore bow. "Chicagoist Prime" contacted Marcus and me the other day and asked if we wanted to run some photos of a dinner she was going to that night. You don't turn down good photos and you always find a way to accommodate the founding editor of this here site when necessary. "We've never done anything regarding May St. Market," Rachelle said. Sad to say that's true, as I've long been a fan of Alex Cheswick's cooking.

That's being remedied today. Take a look at some of these stunning photos from Rachelle.

May St. Market, 1132 W. Grand, 312-421-5547
