Dining Out: Pi day deals and more
Pi day deals
Thursday, March 14, is pi day, which means not only do you get to celebrate the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter, but you also get some tasty deals.
• Stop by Beatrix for Pi(e) Day and grab a slice of Oh, My! Caramel Pie for just $3.14 (regular price is $8.95) when you dine-in at Oak Brook or their four Chicago locations on March 14.
• Blaze Pizza is offering diners an 11-inch pizza for $3.14 (not including crust upgrades) when they download the Blaze app and join Blaze Rewards. Blaze is located at 5 Woodfield Road, Suite VC11, Schaumburg.

Au revoir, George Trois
After nine years, Chef Michael Lachowicz and the George Trois Group announced last week that the George Trois dining room, which shares the same building as the group’s popular French brasserie Aboyer in Winnetka, would cease service. But the news isn’t as bad as it sounds. The decision to close was made mainly to use the space as a much-needed extension for the Aboyer dining room. Additional events such as cooking classes, wine programs and George Trois pop-ups have been planned for the space on select dates as well.
“The enthusiasm that everyone has shown for Aboyer has been truly incredible, and we cannot be more grateful, but the love that everyone has shown has created a good problem for us,” Lachowicz said in a news release. “Specifically, we need more tables to serve our guests. The bittersweet answer for me is to expand Aboyer seating into the restaurant George Trois.”
Existing reservations for George Trois will be refunded or can be transferred to Aboyer.
