Chicago Restaurant Week wrapped up a few months ago, back when we were still allowed to frequent our favorite eateries with a gaggle of friends (remember those days?). Now, delivery service Uber Eats aims to recreate the sentiment of the annual celebration with its own digital dining fest. Virtual Restaurant Week launches in Chicago today and runs through April 23, offering bundled meal deals from some of the best restaurants in Chicago—all available for delivery.
Just like the real thing, Virtual Restaurant Week highlights multi-course menus for a set price. And with 500 local spots participating, there's plenty to choose from. Beloved Logan Square restaurant 90 Miles Cuban Cafe invites diners to select a sandwich, side and soft drink for about $15 per person. Roots Handmade Pizza has two meal deals made for couples: Whether you choose pasta ($42) or pizza ($34.50), you'll get to toss in an appetizer and a salad to round out your dinner. Downtown Italian mecca Eataly is offering meals for two ($40) or four ($90), both of which include salad, several pastas and dessert. Priced at $29.95, Furious Spoon's "We Got Your Back Bundle" includes two bowls (rice or ramen), six dumplings, two soft drinks and—get this—a roll of toilet paper.
You can access these shareable meal deals through the Uber Eats app or by searching "Restaurant Week" on the website; participating menus have a dedicated section called "Restaurant Week" that outlines what's available. Though it will never compare to the real deal, this is one more way to support Chicago eateries while staying at home. We'll crack a can of beer to that.
