Kick Off December with Weekend Dining Deals

It's already Thursday, which means it's time to make weekend plans. As Chicago embraces winter, head indoors this weekend for dining deals from Glen Prairie (1250 Roosevelt Rd., Glen Ellyn; 630-613-1250), crafted by executive chef Daniel Ovanin. Ovanin used ingredients sourced from area farmers and ranchers to create these specials, available after 5 p.m. Dec. 4 and 5.

Try Fried Cheese Ravioli, an appetizer of buttermilk-breaded mozzarella, Romano and ricotta cheese stuffed ravioli, served with butternut squash puree ($7). Also try Colorado Rack of Lamb Chops, with roasted fingerling potatoes, baby carrots and minted au jus ($22), or Seared Miller Farms Chicken, with wild mushroom and truffle risotto and natural jus ($20).

Glen Prairie's regular menu is also available. For more information or to make a reservation, call (630) 630-1250 or visit http://www.glenprairie.com/.
