Kids' Restaurant Week in Chicago
The good news is, someone in my family is eligible to enjoy a prix fixe menu at Chicago's Frontera Grill, Osteria di Tramonto, One Sixtyblue, or Coco Pazzo Cafe for $4. The bad news is, I have to pay $20, and we don't live in Chicago.
If we did, however, I'd be all over Kids' Restaurant Week in Chicago, which runs June 21-28. Nineteen of Chicago's top restaurants are participating. The rules are: (1) come in between 5 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.; (2) kids under 12 pay their age; and (3) adults and older kids pay $20.08.
The web site doesn't say anything about the menus, so I called a couple of the restaurants to find out what kids should expect to eat. Read the menus, after the jump.
One Sixtyblue
- Wood oven one sixtyblue pizzetta with mozzarella, tomato, and basil
- Homemade parmesan gnocchi with corn, peas, baby carrots, and herb emulsion
- Vanilla bean ice cream with raspberry coulis and cookies
- For children under age 2: broccoli puree, roast turkey slice, vanilla bean ice cream

This sounds awesome! Now I wish we were going to Chicago instead of NY that week... well, mostly anyway. It's hard to turn down NY!
