With indoor dining no longer operational, our restaurants and bars need our support now more than ever before. Take Out Chicago is a contest that runs through Dec.15 for all Chicagoans coordinated by the city of Chicago and supported by Choose Chicago in an effort to help support our beloved restaurants during these challenging times.
This contest is for any Chicago resident who orders from 10 different Chicago restaurants through Dec. 15. Once you have completed 10 unique orders, you can enter the contest by emailing TakeOutChicago@choosechicago.com with your name and the name of the 10 restaurants that you ordered from. Choose Chicago will select up to 10 winners at random. Each winner will receive a 90-120 minute VIP tour of a select Chicago destination. Proof of purchase will be requested when winners are selected.
Make sure you include your name and the 10 restaurants you ordered from! Good luck!

WCA partners with Stella Artois and Illinois Restaurant Association on Dine Together, Apart Initiative |
|
As the temperatures continue to drop, we are happy to announce an innovative, outdoor dining solution: Dining Together, Apart. This was made possible by WCA’s partnership with the Illinois Restaurant Association and Stella Artois.
Dining Together, Apart invites Chicagoans to dine al fresco comfortably and safely well into colder months with 6 domes and 15 greenhouse-like pods. Beginning on Oct. 16, both the Dine Out on Fulton Market will feature these structures. Come experience them on Fulton Market between Green and Peoria at these fine restaurant's:
In Fulton Market, the pods will surround a temporary chalk street mural designed by famed artist Shepard Fairey’s Studio One to bring an artful approach to social distancing and collective-yet-safe dining. Originally commissioned by Stella Artois to encourage social distancing in East London, the 3,840 sq ft mural will be reimagined in Chicago-based artists.
Following the launch weekend, Oct. 16-18, Stella Artois will continue to allocate Chicago restaurants the dining pods to safely serve diners through the cold weather months.
