The weekend is fun-size.
Your Perks: 1) An exclusive box of the world’s most exquisite spirits, delivered monthly. 2) 33% off the Celluon Epic—a tiny Bluetooth keyboard made of frickin’ lasers. 3) Damn handsome vintage-style posters of America’s most iconic cities. Give your walls a treat.
Burger Boss—a popular Elmwood Park slinger of Angus beef patties—is bringing its brioche buns, salted-caramel milkshakes, applewood-smoked bacon and smoked barbecue sauce to the Southport Corridor. Maybe you should swing by and give them a big neighborly welcome.
Life in the Louisiana bayou is probably not all shrimp shacks, andouille sausage, po’boys and pecan pie. But let’s say it were. Then it might look a lot like Lafayette, a new little takeaway-lunch spot in the Chicago French Market. And... you might go there for lunch.
Things to look for at Redmoon’s Boneshaker 2013 costume ball tonight: 1,000 hot dogs. A candelabra for grilling said hot dogs. A Segway/beer/keg hybrid. A 30-person punk rock marching band. A roller skate rink. And, oh yeah: 400 pounds of cream cheese. Things not to look for: sanity.
Your Halloween costume: original, smart and well executed. Now to give your every-day-other-than-Halloween costume the same adjectives. This handsome new bi-level boutique in Old Town can help. Be sure to check out their stellar denim selection (7 for All Mankind, etc.) for your famed guy-in-great-pants look.
Time to get your special chili-cook-off-judging spoon out of its special velvet-lined briefcase. Your talents are needed once again. Sunday’s chili-off will feature 16 entries, ranging from sweet to hot to smoke-out-of-your-ears. And yes, giant $4 beers will be available for palate-cleansing purposes. Such an important step.
