Meet Charles at Meijer June 2nd!
June 1st, 2010
 Calling all Chicago Bears fans! Charles Tillman, cornerback for the Chicago Bears, will be stepping off the field and into the kitchen as he tackles his culinary creation, Charles Tillman's BBQ Chicken Sandwich. On Wednesday, June 2, 2010, Tillman is sure to bring some heat into the kitchen just as he does on the field while he creates this signature dish for the crowd at the Meijer store in Algonquin, IL. Accompanying Tillman will be Meijer Healthy Living Advisor Maribel Alchin. Charles Tillman will cook up a storm from 5 to 6 p.m. on Wednesday, June 2, 2010, at the Algonquin Meijer Store, located at 400 South Randall Road, and sign autographs until 7 p.m. The first 150 people to arrive starting at 4 p.m. at the Algonquin store will receive a wristband that ensures an autograph from Charles Tillman.
