Don't Binge ‘The Bear' Season 4 Without Great Takeout
It's here. Season 4 of The Bear — possibly its last (but not officially) — arrives today, June 25. The whole 10-episode season drops on Hulu at 7 p.m.. Anyone brave enough to binge the entire season in a single sitting might need to think this one through: Have you secured the ideal snacks for this lengthy journey? We wouldn't suggest Pizza Hut's tavern-style pizza, unless you plan on locking yourself away in a walk-in to numb the emotional pain. Instead, allow Eater Chicago to guide you through the best takeout and delivery options to pair with the highs, lows, and in-betweens of Season 4, but don't worry; no spoilers here. For more takeout and delivery options, check out this map. Curtis Duffy, behind Michelin-starred Ever — a fictionalized version closed on the TV show, but the real restaurant remains open — is offering a special, Bear -inspired delivery-only menu in partnership with Uber Eats. It's available 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Tuesdays through Sundays, from now until Monday, July 28. The menu includes Italian beefs, chicken parm sandwiches, a Boursin omelette sandwich with potato chips, Mikey's Spaghetti, and Marcus's Honey Bun. Order via Uber Eats . The Bear's cast and crew made frequent stops at this iconic Mexican restaurant while filming, but sadly, Birrieria Zaragoza's original location in Archer Heights is closed after a weekend fire. They've set up a GoFundMe to help with repairs. However, a second location in Uptown is open until 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Don't forget to order the flan. Order via DoorDash . Loaf Lounge remains one of Chicago's mightiest operations, truly a complete restaurant with strong sandwiches, breads, desserts, and drinks. Co-owner and pastry chef Sarah Mispagel-Lustbader was a consultant for Season 1 and created the chocolate cake for the show. The cake is available for pickup or delivery. However, you'll have to plan to order this one in advance because the kitchen takes its final orders at 3 p.m. before the cafe closes entirely at 4 p.m. What are you waiting for? Order via Toast . Sometimes you just need a good burger, and a Happy Meal won't cut it. The Loyalist is the bar underneath the three-Michelin-starred restaurant Smyth. The menu is approachable and features one of the best burgers in town. Get a salad or fries to complement the Dirty Burg. Order via Tock . PQM's head butcher Rob Levitt appears in Season 3 as a culinary figure leading the Chicago's hard-to-navigate dining scene. And for good reason: his crew makes some of the best sandwiches in the city. You can't go wrong there, but if you're in the mood to make your own meal, Publican Quality Meats delivers some of the best sausages and chops in town for the home cook. They also have a modest produce selection and a great selection of gourmet oils and spices. Order via PQM's website . See More:
