Are you a dazed and confused—yet elated—Cubs fan, putzing around town the day after the team outlasted Cleveland to bring home the North Side’s first World Series win in 108 years? Plenty of Chicago restaurants are offering freebies and other discounts to help celebrate the championship.
Check out this list so you won’t end up eating garbage like Cleveland manager Terry Francona. Free food and the end of the curse? Go crazy, Chicago!
Nando’s Peri-Peri
Fans wearing Cubs gear and dining in at Nando’s West Loop, Wabash, South Loop, Streeterville, Clybourn, Lakeview, Oak Park, Naperville locations can get free quarter chicken, chicken sandwich, wrap, or pita. The promotion last for 108 minutes (get it?) from noon to 1:48 p.m. on Thursday. Excludes drinks and sides.
Aloha Poke Co.
The first 108 customers at Aloha Poke’s Lakeview location near Wrigleyville, 843 W. Belmont Ave. get free crunch bowls. Aloha opens at 10 a.m., so get there fast.
Pork Chop
Over at Pork Chop at 941 W. Randolph St., fans don’t have to dress up. From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., they’re giving away free barbecue sandwiches, pulled chicken or pulled pork.
Buona Beef
This promotion is valid at all Buona Beef’s 17 locations scatter around the suburbs, and the location at 10659 S. Western Ave. in Beverly. The official Italian beef of the Cubs will give away Italian beef sandwiches to the first 108 fans who show up at each restaurant.
DMK Burger Bar and Fish Bar
No, DMK and sibling Fish Bar aren’t giving away any food at the Lakeview or suburban Lombard locations. But they are offering free delivery this week through DoorDash. It’s no free lap dance, but it will do.
