Dining out: Become a grill master at Schaumburg's new Weber Grill Academy
National Oyster Day
Did you know that National Oyster Day is Sunday, Aug. 5? To honor the occasion, Shaw’s Crab House Schaumburg is offering half-priced oysters and half-off bottles of wine all day Sunday. If beer is your preferred beverage, Shaw’s is offering a new beer designed exclusively for the restaurant: the OB Tripel, a Belgian tripel that is brewed locally from Oyster Beer Co. The specialty brew will be half-off, too, pricing at $3.50 on Sunday. Shaw’s Crab House is at 1900 E. Higgins Road, Schaumburg, (847) 517-2722, shawscrabhouse.com/.
