Tim's Food Review: Grilled Chicken Sub
Bloggers,
I'm sure you've all heard or maybe have had this next Food Dish I'm about to review--The Grilled Chicken Sub!
I've only heard rumors of this dish and I finally got my hands on one last night and bloggers, it didn't disappoint, in fact it was one of the best dishes I've ever had at Chuck's and I've had a lot of meals here!
It's chunks of grilled marinated chicken on French bread topped with melted cheese, mayo, lettuce and Chuck's sub salsa. Every single bite of this sandwich was mouth watering. The chicken blended with the cheese and mayo blended so well together and it was one of the best tasting sandwiches like I said I've ever had. The Chuck's salsa also provides a nice refreshing flavor to the sandwich and the French bread was perfect. Of course my two sides of coleslaw and mac n cheese complimented the sandwich wonderfully also.
This special happens once a month and you must make this a priority to try in the future. It is a wonderful sandwich that only gets better with each bite.
Until next time bloggers,
Tim

Chucks Blackhawks Outing
Hello bloggers,
So I have some awesome news that is sure to get your attention. While I don't have all the details yet, Chuck's is going to be hosting it's first ever group outing with the CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS!!! Now we did do one a few months back with the White Sox and it was a huge success, minus the 100 degree day so it's time to change sports and move from U.S. Cellular Field to the United Center.
Here's what I've gathered so far- the date of the game is October 20th and it's against the Hawks greatest rival, the Detroit Red Wings. We have secured a little over 80 tickets but are still finalizing the cost of the event which will include food and transportation, just like the White Sox outing. As soon as any more information comes my way, don't you fear bloggers, I will have it here for you. We will obviously post via Facebook and this blog when tickets will be available to you the public, so keep it glued to the blog and Facebook for that announcement.

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!

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
