You’re hungry. It’s summertime. The solution? You throw a batch of kabobs on the grill. Done deal. You may very well be checked in at a Corporate Suites Network property with a grill at your fingertips, but you’re also just steps away from local hubs willing to do the grilling for you. Take advantage of the deals available during National Grill Month… and that annual summery craving for flame-licked ribeye.
If You’re Staying At 400 N. LaSalle:
