Grilling this weekend? Learn the finer points with a class at the Weber Grilling Academy in Lombard. Choose from a Gourmet Burger Blends class (8/30; $50/person) or a Classic Surf & Turf class (8/31; $90/person) where guests are taught grilling techniques and timing while learning on a Weber charcoal or gas grill. 2331 Fountain Square, Lombard, 630.953.8880

Brunch like the French at Bistronomic

Nosh on Labor Day brunch bites like the artisanal smoked salmon sandwich, house-cured duck confit hash and other dishes from the Gold Coast favorite while adding in bottomless mimosas ($18.95) with any entree purchase. Sept. 2, 10:30AM – 2:30PM. 840 N. Wabash, 312.944.8400

Sip caipirinhas at ZED451

Enjoy a full-fledged foodie adventure with an extravagant dinner and dessert evening ($46/person). Start off the night with caipirinhas ($7) and starters from the Brazilian steakhouse before tackling the evening’s toothsome highlight: an array of fire-seared meats carved in front of you by the chef. Sept. 2, 739 N. Clark St., 312.266.6691

Imbibe all-you-can-drink hard seltzer at Bandit

Soak in the last days of summer with never-ending cans of Natural Hard Seltzer ($25) while unwinding on the uber-popular patio at DineAmic’s new West Loop spot. Sept. 2, 10:00AM-3:00PM, 841 W. Randolph St., 312.666.6061

Wells St., 312.477.2800

Dine with your dog for a cause at Onward

With Onward’s “Bone Appetite” menu, even dogs can get in on the action. Choose from sweet potato strips ($4), frozen peanut butter & banana ($4) or watermelon ($4) with a portion of sales benefiting One Tail at a Time. For the non-canine crowd, there’s Southern Crawfish Arancini ($12), beef & pork kofta ($15) and other noshes from executive chef Patrick Russ. Aug. 30-Sept. 1, 6580 N. Sheridan Rd., 872.888.8776

Marvel the skies at LH Rooftop
