Feel free to file as the weekend’s dependent next year.
You love your mother. But do you love her enough to get her a bottle of vintage Dom Pérignon champagne or rosé that you’ve had custom engraved with a special, heartfelt message of your choosing for Mother’s Day? There’s only one answer.
For one day, Eataly is parting with two of their finest cuts of beef (the dry-aged bone-in ribeye and the tomahawk ribeye) for up to 50% off per pound. They’re doing it because Friday is Dry-Aged Beef Day. And you couldn’t care less if they made that up.
Bric-a-Brac Records is hosting a block party with live music, gratis donuts and a drink called the Bric-a-Braquiri that you can try at nearby Lost Lake. If you’re feeling the feeling of happiness right now, that feeling is the right feeling.
Did somebody say new brunch? We did. We said new brunch. That’s because Oak + Char is launching theirs on Sunday with lamb merguez, a smoked-chicken omelet and rhubarb-jam-sugar donuts. Oh, and their outdoor patio will be open, too. They didn’t time this wrong.
This Sunday, local chefs and taco enthusiasts alike will converge upon Lincoln Hall for the Chicago Taco Takedown. If you’re there to compete, bring your finest taco creation. If you’re there to eat, be prepared to fill your taco quota for the entire month. Either way, good job.
Ah, 2009. Sure, we were in the throes of the worst economic collapse since the Great Depression. But DMK also got their start that year. And five years later, you’ll commemorate their humble beginnings at Henry’s Swing Club, where everything (cocktails, sliders... everything) will be $2.09. Not this time, inflation.
