Chicago Meetup - 2015

[Jeff]

Forecast for Saturday, Sunny and high of 90.  Sandwiched between days (Fri and Sunday) where scattered showers are in order.

Lets hope for dry weather.  That's the most important part.  We have been saturated in our area since late May - early June.  Brian has an awesome deck, yard, and covered seating area that is perfect for large gatherings.  He's got a big pool too!  Might need it if its going to be as hot as the forecast says!

SO I told the wife one of the necessaries is that we go and eat at a Weber Grills Restaurant.  I have been to Chicago before and eaten at various location like Michael Jordon's place, what should I know about eating @ Weber Grills. we plan to go to the one on the  north side in Schaumburg.

Talk to me, are there any weber storefront locations that I can go to (like a kid in a candy store).

Storefront locations...No.  There is the one downtown that is extremely busy.  One out in Lombard, Il, a southwest suburb and the one in Schaumburg that you mentioned. 

Schaumburg and Lombard are both nice restaurants.  Lombard has a few more vintage grills than the Schaumburg one, but nothing as nice as you'll see on Saturday. 

If you go to the one in Schaumburg you may be able to get a tour of the place.  I think we may know someone there.....

Shoestringshop and wife will be there. Sliders and some salad.

With Shoestringshop bringing sliders that helps me get off the fence (burgers or brats.) Brats it is then! Maybe I'll demo my technique for leg quarters on the 26 since they're on sale for 39¢/lb.

@LightningBoldtz are you looking for a well stocked ACE or hardware store?  I guess that would be a storefront location.....Is that what you mean?

@zavod44 I was wondering if they had any Weber storefronts in the area but a well stocked Ace would also do..

[zavod44]

Maybe some of the guys in the area know of some.  There is no Weber retail stores.  There is an Ace up in Libertyville that has a lot of stuff, I dint think you'll be in that area thought.  Does anyone know of a hardware store that has a huge selection?

[Jeff]

The Ace Hardware in the town of Addison on Lake St and Addison Rd is MASSIVE

[LightningBoldtz]

thanks guys

The newly expanded parts counter at Weber HQ is open from 9 to Noon on Saturday. It's 27.2 miles from Brian's house. 200 E Daniels Rd, Palatine, IL  60067.

Last time I stopped in I bought three warming racks for $10 each! One will be given away at the meetup. They have all kind of cool stuff you won't see anywhere else! It's basically a Weber only retail playground!
