Experience Asian Street Food Without a Plane Ticket
February here can be exceptionally brutal, so why not leave Chicago for a sultry, jungle-inspired sanctuary without splashing out for a plane ticket?
Chef Won Kim, winner of Food Network’s Cutthroat Kitchen and proprietor of Bridgeport’s soon-to-be-opened Kimski’s (think Korean/Polish fusion), has teamed up with Tiger Beer to bring a night of Asian street food to Maria's Packaged Goods & Community Bar in Bridgeport on Thursday, February 18.
The event begins at 8 p.m. and will feature Kim’s newest food creations, art celebrating the Lunar New Year (the Year of the Monkey), $3 Tiger Beer specials, and two signature cocktails created by Maria’s specifically for the event: “The Spicy Tiger” ($10) and “The Double-Crossed Monkey,” ($8). Maria's Packaged Goods & Community Bar is located at 960 W. 31st St., at the intersection of Morgan Street and 31st Street.
