The Windy City is Gearing up for Dining Out for Life
Dining Out for Life can finally do fun things like purchase lottery tickets, vote, and get a belly button piercing, as it celebrates its 18th year in Chicago, IL. Last year Chicagoans raised over $100,000 to continue the mission of providing housing and life services to adults and children living with HIV/AIDs. And this year, they’re aiming to raise $250,000. With over 100 restaurants participating, aiming high never tasted so good.
One option is Wilde Bar & Restaurant. Wilde, as in Oscar Wilde, lures visitors in with its combination of upscale ambiance with that of an Irish bar, right in the heart of the Lakeview neighborhood. Menu options include whiskey wings, Wilde macaroni and cheese, burgers, salads, fish and chips, shepherd’s pie, rosemary roasted garlic chicken, and more. You can chose to dine and/or drink at an antique Brunswick bar, a leather booth, or by the fireplace in the grand library.
If dining with Oscar isn’t your thing, then you could dine at Ceres’ Table. Inspired by Ceres, the Roman goddess of the harvest, this restaurant is owned and operated by a Chicagan and Sicilian duo, who worked together to create a menu of fresh, seasonal, and traditional recipes. Some examples of entrĂ©es include arancini (fried risotto balls filled with meat, cheese, and/or veggies), goat cheese ravioli, gnocchi alla romana, and more. They also offer cocktails and dessert.
