A market isn’t just about fresh produce—it’s the heartbeat of a city’s food culture. That’s the idea behind Market 1897 by Wine Court (Borbíróság)’s new Market to Table series, where guest chefs serve up the defining flavors of their travels and favorite markets, one month at a time. First up on June 18: Lajos Bíró, one of Hungary’s most influential chefs and a pioneer of the country’s renewed bistro scene.
Market to Table Kicks Off
Each edition invites a chef who brings back market finds, tastes, and stories, then spins them into a menu that feels like a passport stamp. Expect seasonal, straight-from-the-market ingredients, bold comfort flavors, and a few unfiltered chef memories from the road.
Lajos Bíró Takes the Stage
Bíró isn’t just a big name—he helped redefine Hungarian bistro cooking with gutsy plates and zero pretense. For this opening night, he’ll channel the markets that shaped him, folding classic technique into street-level flavor. One night, one chef, and a menu built like a market walk.
