Markethouse
Executive Chef Scott Walton's new line of customizable, made-to-order sausage and charcuterie to be cooked at home.

Markethouse is known for its farm-to-table eats, and now you can adopt the same philosophy in your own kitchen. The spot's new carry-out menu includes a creative array of bacons (bet you never tasted the duck variety), pâtés, and mustards.

Forget about the basic, store-bought brat. Wow your guests with Chef Scott’s specialty sausages utilizing fresh herbs from the restaurant's rooftop garden. Options include:

1. Seafood Sausage: lobster, shrimp, and truffle
2. Lamb Merguez Sausage: smoked paprika, harissa, fennel, and garlic
3. Veal and Pork Bratwurst: nutmeg, braised mustard seeds, and parsley

With the exception of the seafood sausage, which is available at market price, these links average $7.95 per pound. You can also make your own customized sausage (chicken with Marcona almonds and cranberries perhaps?) from a bevy of proteins, spices, and fun specialty ingredients. The cost starts at $6 a pound (with a five pound minimum) and goes up depending on how fancy you get.

Markethouse, 611 North Fairbanks Court (at Ontario Street); 312-224-2200.
