boystirringOn Friday, the 22nd, The Kids’ Table offers its “Kids/Parents Night Out!”‚  Instead of leaving the kids home with a babysitter, you can drop them off at this adorable cooking school where they can find their inner Giada. Kids 4 - 10 yrs. old spend the first hour rolling, chopping and mixing their way toward the completion of their meal. After eating and clean up, they get to watch a movie and dig into stove-top popcorn (how Old School is that? Now they just need to resurrect coconut oil). The night runs from 6 - 9 p.m. and costs $35 per kid. Menu: Traditional Red Pizza & Rainbow Slaw Movie: TBD (call them at 773-235-2665 to find out what they’ll be showing) Check out their online calendar for more information or to register.
