Bear down in the Voodoo Lounge this preseason

Bears fans listen up,

Every Bears Preseason Game the Voodoo Lounge will be offering up a killer special. Now I know every bar claims to have great deals/packages but let's be honest...you can end up spending 25-30 a person. The Voodoo Lounge is offering 20% off food and drinks in the Lounge during the game. To prove how good of a deal this is let's take a look at an example:

Say two people come in and buy 4 beers priced at $5, $4, $8 and $3. Let's say you then order some food. The Super Sampler for $16.25 (a lot of food) and a Pulled Pork Deluxe with choice of 2 sides for $8.25. 

Now your total is going to be before tax of $44.50. Let's take off the 20% which is subtracting $8.90 bringing our new subtotal to $35.60. Add tax and our total arrives at $38.80 or $19.40 per person. Now that's a deal folks...coming in under $20 for a lot of food and granted only two drinks but granted this is just an example. 

So instead of sitting at home watching the Bears kick off their 2012 Preseason, come to the Voodoo Lounge  for some great food, your choice of 120 beers and over 12 HD television's to watch DAAA BEARS!!

What's more American then Chuck's Big Hot Dog?

Got your attention didn't I?

Bloggers you gotta come to Chuck's to try this dish it is ridiculous! Chuck has unveiled his 'Big Dog' and of course has made a hot dog even more tasty. He has taken a hot dog and stuffed it with American Cheese, then he wraps it in bacon (I'll give you a second to catch your breath,) and then adds grilled onions, sauerkraut and tops it all off with a Creole mustard. All of this mouth watering hot dog is $4.95 for just the dog and $7.45 for deluxe (2 sides).

Don't believe me, take a look at Chuck's Big Dog yourself below:



Hurry my friends, cause this is a limited time item and they will be gone before lunch!

Chucks mixed with fantasy football..dream come true!

Hey Chuckheads,

So as NFL training camps get under way it's time to discuss what matters to most men, and yes some women...FOOTBALL!

Chuck's is tossing around the idea of hosting those who participate in live fantasy football drafts. We want to know what is a reasonable per person package price that would include food/drink. We have posted something online via Chuck's official Facebook page but I wanted to reach out to you guys here via the world wide web. We've had responses from $20-$30 a person, so please let me know what you guys feel would be a reasonable price and I'll be sure to share it with the rest of the management team.

Chuck's Fest Artist Spotlight: CANDLEBOX

Hey guys it's Tim:

In case you haven't heard, Candlebox is playing at this year's Chuck's Fest and will be headlining on Saturday September 8th from 9:30-11:00pm. If you're not familiar with Candlebox they have been around since 1990.

They made it big in 1993 when they released their debut album that featured the hits- 'Change,' 'You,' 'Far Behind,' and 'Cover Me.' Their album quickly shot up the charts and even earned them a headlining spot at Woodstock '94.

I don't know about any of you but I've always been a fan of these guys and am very eager to see them headline Chuck's Fest 2012 on Saturday September 8th. Here is one of their songs I'm sure we'll be hearing that night, so get ready to enjoy some great live music accompanied by some great food and of course a nice cold beer (if of legal age of course)!



Until next time bloggers,

Tim

In case you weren't aware, Chuck's has a wide array of shirts available for purchase in the restaurant. and range from sizes S-3XL. Prices do vary but they are a great gift or just nice to add to your own personal collection, take it from me, I have like 10 shirts.


So next time you're in for either breakfast, lunch or dinner make sure you check out our shirt wall located behind the cashier table to take a look for yourself.

Hot summer days equals cold refreshing beverages

Hey bloggers,

Just had to make sure you were all aware of the new drink Chuck's was serving up this blazing hot summer: The Strawberry Lemonade.

The contents of this beverage include: fresh muddled strawberries, Ketel One Citron, Triple Sec & lemonade.

The cost for this drink is $7; so next time you find yourself at Chuck's or The Voodoo Lounge make sure you stop in and try one, they are mighty tasty!

This drink will certainly cool you down on a hot summer day.
