Upcoming Events
A Chicago Style Thanksgiving
Join the WLS-AM morning show crew for a Thanksgiving lunch that’s pure Chicago! Ray Stevens and Nick Gale will be hosting a Chicago-Style Thanksgiving at Augustino’s in Carol Stream… Italian beefs, Chicago dogs, and Italian sausage that knocks ya over—none of that tofu or kale nonsense, we’re talkin’ real Chicago food!
Ray will be holdin’ court at the head of the table, crackin’ jokes about the latest political circus in Chicago and takin’ a stand for common sense values.
WHEN: FRI 11/22
TIME: 12:00PM – 2:00PM
WHERE: Augustino’s Rock & Roll Deli and Grill 246 S Schmale Rd, Carol Stream, IL 60188 https://www.augustinos.com/
We will be talkin’ about freedom, faith, and good ol’ fashioned patriotism and don’t you worry, there’s no debate about whether ketchup belongs on a dog—Ray’s layin’ down the law: it’s mustard or bust.
God Bless America and our WLS-AM listeners!
This is the Thanksgiving meal that we all need!
