Dining out: Eddie V’s debuts in Oak Brook, Thanksgiving turkey pizza and more
New eatery in Oak Brook
Eddie V’s, known for prime seafood, hand-carved steaks and theatrical cocktails, will open a new location in Oak Brook on Sunday, Nov. 17.
The menu features seafood flown in daily from around the world, with signature dishes such as Chilean sea bass steamed Hong Kong style, Parmesan sole and crab fried rice. Their prime steaks are hand carved daily by an in-house butcher.
The V Lounge features a stage for nightly performances by musicians, and the cocktail program highlights handcrafted drinks poured with touch of flair. The Smoked Old Fashioned is torched tableside on a wooden plank, with the smoke captured in a glass, while the Hope Diamond changes color from deep blue to magenta. A walk-through wine tower made entirely of glass houses the restaurant’s wine and champagne selection of more than 300 labels.
The restaurant is located at 3001 Butterfield Road and will be open for dinner seven nights a week.
Bowl a turkey, give a turkey
Three strikes may be bad in baseball, but a pair of local eateries want you to hit their bowling lanes and roll three in a row to help neighbors in need.
Kings Dining & Entertainment in Rosemont invites bowlers of all skill levels to their “Bowl a Turkey 2024” campaign. From now through Nov. 22, every time a guest bowls a turkey, or three strikes in a row, Kings will donate a turkey to The Greater Chicago Food Depository. You’ll also get a shout out on Kings’ social media channels with a photo of you holding a sign reading “I Just Bowled a Turkey.”
At Pinstripes, every time you bowl a turkey from now until Nov. 22, you’ll receive a frozen turkey and they’ll donate one to a local food bank. There are suburban Pinstripes locations in Northbrook, Oak Brook and South Barrington.
Speaking of turkey
A fall fan favorite is returning to Frato’s Culinary Kitchen in Schaumburg. In the spirit of the season, it’s time for the annual release of their Thanksgiving turkey pizza slice.
Available every Saturday in November for $2.99, walk-in customers can grab the one-pound seasonal slice layered with Frato’s signature brown gravy, mashed potatoes, herb-roasted turkey and a blend of cheeses. Halal turkey options are also available.
