THE BOYS ARE BACK
Hearty Opens
Erstwhile Food Network stars—and perpetual catering powerhouse team—the Hearty Boys are finally
helming a full-time restaurant again. So before heading in for Rabbit Corn Dogs and Pork Belly
and Beans (plus an awe-inspiring list of cocktails), we thought you'd appreciate Chicago's first look
around…

SALE-ING
Scoop NYC 25% Off Sale
The only thing standing between you and frostbite this winter is a new John Varvatos cashmere sweater. Okay,
we might be exaggerating (a bit). But that—along with jeans from DSquared and polos from Psycho
Bunny—will be among the seasonal finds at Scoop NYC's sale this weekend, just in time for the long,
cold months ahead.

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS
Wing-Eating Contest at Jake Melnick's
You'd be insane to enter an eating contest involving XXX Wings, which are doused with an unholy

HEAR THEM RAH
Luvabulls Tip-Off Party
We can't predict how the Bulls season will go, but at some point, you'll probably need cheering up. Get some

THE SIZZLER
Beer and Bacon Tasting at Paddy Long's
You love bacon, but it's been a while since you two really just hung out and had a beer together. Rediscover
the pork magic in all its Irish, German, Polish, Canadian and American splendor…along with six
seasonal brews—in case you need a conversation starter.

Three Cheers
Three Floyd's Dinner at Small Bar
The Wicker Park hangout trades burgers for a six-course extravaganza featuring Alaskan halibut cheeks,
fig-stuffed poussin and seared Colorado lamb—each paired with a Three Floyd's brew (including its
super-secret annual beer). The event sold out weeks ago, but we stashed a couple away of reservations. The
rest is up to you.
