Olympics-inspired beer flight from Howell's and Hood
Obsessed with the Olympics yet? We are. (Although, we still need someone to explain 'curling' to us.)
Turn your TV-watching time into Sochi social power hour at one of these Chicago spots that'll help you cheer Team USA to victory morning, noon and night.
Brunch:
Prepare for a day of cheering on Team USA with the breakfast of champions special. This loaded breakfast includes two eggs, two pancakes, two turkey sausage patties, two slices of house-smoked bacon, hash brown casserole and toast for $13. (Weekends only.) Power up!
Lunch/dinner:
Get into the global spirit by enjoying a different themed burger each weekday, including options like the Jamaica burger (jerk turkey burger with mango and red onions) and the Italy burger (beef burger with mozzarella, basil and roasted tomato sauce), served with your choice of side.
Dessert:
Show your patriotic side with red, white and blue snow cones for $10. Featuring Skyy Vodka, the Team USA-inspired cones are pina colada, cherry and blue raspberry flavored. (Available during hockey games only.)
Beers:
Give even more meaning to the Olympic rings with Howell's and Hood's Olympics-inspired beer flight that -- you guessed it -- includes five beers from around the world for only $18.
