- Hot Doug’s comes alive at Soup and Bread.
How would you like a piece of Hot Doug’s to live on at your very own sausage superstore? Memorabilia from the legendary Chicago encased meat emporium and line-based social platform will be among the raffle items at a fundraiser for Soup and Bread, the weekly winter event at the Hideout that will kick off again in January. It’s happening on Saturday, December 13 from 5:30 to 9 PM, admission is a $20 donation, and there will be soup from Doug Sohn himself, as well as from Smoque, Harmony Grill, and others, plus bread from Publican Quality Meats and cornbread from All on the Road Catering. Then there’s the raffle, which, besides some famous items from Doug’s, will include stuff from the Hideout, Bloodshot Records, Agate Publishing, and more.
• Frontier will hold a shrimp boil in conjunction with some sort of gladiatorial contest involving “Saints” and “Bears.” It’s on Sunday, December 14 at 3 PM. $25.
• This holiday email from the great Roscioli in Rome is probably impractical for your shopping needs, but you want to read it in its fractured English anyway.
