Step into the flavorful world of "The Bear," the acclaimed TV series following Chef Carmen "Carmy" Berzatto and his protegee, Sydney, as they transform a family sandwich shop into a Chicago fine dining destination. In its second season, "The Bear" took viewers on a gastronomic adventure, visiting renowned restaurants and indulging in their signature dishes.

Join us on October 10 at The Publican for an exclusive VIP reception where we bring to life the iconic "bites" from "The Bear" episodes. Curated by the One-Off Hospitality culinary team, which was featured in The Bear, each dish represents a culinary moment from the series, capturing its essence and creativity.

Prepare to savor these inspired flavors and experience firsthand the magic of "The Bear" through our carefully crafted menu.
