The weekend saw your shadow.
PERK ALERT
Lingerie, Ecstasy and Private Polaroids
Your Valentine’s Day toolbox is now well stocked with supplies from the love experts at
Jimmyjane. We’re also making sure you have at least twice the usual amount of lingerie on hand for the occasion and a two-hour
private Polaroid
session where someone can... display it.
ALARM YOURSELF
Your Gallon of Chili Awaits
We don’t mean to panic you, but you only have until 7pm tonight to order chili by the gallon from Butcher
& the Burger. Okay, we see you’re panicking. Deep breath. Focus. But whatever you do, don’t forget
to order some blue-cheese-stuffed, bacon-wrapped meatball skewers, too.
- 411:
- Order by Feb 2, 7pm, Butcher & the Burger, 1021 W Armitage Ave (at Kenmore), 773-697-3735
Q UP
You’re Hosting, They’re Cooking...
You’ve got a lot on your plate for your Super Bowl party: color calibration, speaker placement, halftime
karaoke-contest pyrotechnics. Leave the cooking to Barn & Company—their to-go spread is pretty solid:
five chickens, 10 slabs, 60 wings, etc. Freeing you to track down that marching band you ordered.
- 411:
- Order by Feb 3; pick up Feb 5, 2:30-3:30pm; $350, Barn & Company, 950 W Wrightwood Ave (at Sheffield), 773-832-4000, order here
AIR FAIR
And Somewhere Above Wisconsin...
Perhaps someone’s going to feel neglected on Sunday. So a pregame day trip’s in order. Drive north, and
stop when the sky becomes littered with hot-air balloons and the streets are filled with chili cook-offs,
ice sculptures and kazoo marching bands. Maybe the Re/Max guy can give you a lift home.
- 411:
- Feb 3-5, Hudson Hot Air Affair, 340 13th St S, Hudson, WI, 800-657-6775
SUPER BOWL SUNDA
The Super Bowl Pig-Out
Pork and the Super Bowl. They have a pretty well-established relationship. You respect that. But sometimes
you want to stray. So in addition to a pig roast, Sunda’s entire menu is half off. Then again, there’s
chocolate-covered bacon for dessert. You always come back to bacon.
- 411:
- Feb 5, 11am-3pm and 5pm-1am, Sunda, 110 W Illinois St (between Clark and La Salle), 312-644-0500
THE SPREAD
The Super Bowl Steak-Out
Loud, sweaty sports bars are absolutely the best places to be on Super Sunday. Obviously. But a very, very
close second: opulent steakhouses. Sit at the bar, drink martinis and nosh complimentary flatbreads, mini
tacos, beef tenderloin sliders and chicken satays and watch the game. Gronkowski jersey not required.
- 411:
- Feb 5, during the game, Benny’s Chop House, 444 N Wabash Ave (at Illinois), 312-626-2444
