‘The Bear’ brings Chicago beef to L.A.

HexClad is teaming up with Uncle Paulie’s Deli to bring Mr. Beef, Chicago’s most iconic sandwich, to Los Angeles for a weekend pop-up hosted by Courtney Storer on July 19 and 20. Back for its second year, “HexClad Serves Up: Mr. Beef At Uncle Paulie’s Deli” is already shaping up to be the weekend of the summer.

For two days only, Angelenos can enjoy a taste of Chicago in Los Angeles, featuring the Italian beef sandwich straight from Chicago’s legendary Mr. Beef – the spot that inspired The Bear’s “Original Beef of Chicagoland.”

The Bear’s culinary director and Chicago native, Courtney Storer, will be serving her Coco’s to Go-Go Homemade Italian Ice. Attendees will also be treated to the complimentary pickle cart courtesy of HexClad, have the chance to grab limited-edition merch, as well as catch a few surprise moments.

Italian beef sandwiches, Coco’s to Go-Go Homemade Italian Ice and limited-edition products are available for purchase on a first-come, first-served basis – early arrival is recommended to get ahead of the anticipated sell-out.

Tocaya launches summer salads

Tocaya, the modern Mexican concept known for its elevated take on bold flavors, is spicing up summer with the debut of two crave-worthy salads that bring a fresh fusion of California freshness and Mexican zest to the menu.

The Mexi-Cali Caesar is a vibrant reimagination of the classic Caesar with a south-of-the-border twist. Built on a base of crisp kale and romaine, the Mexi-Cali Caesar is layered with heirloom cherry tomatoes, creamy avocado, tortilla strips, lime pepita seeds, cotija cheese and Tocaya’s signature avocado Caesar dressing. Guests can choose from two protein options – mesquite-style chicken or grilled chile lime salmon, offering a bold, satisfying bite every time.

The Manzana steak salad – available for a limited time – pairs tender carne asada with butter lettuce, shaved radish, roasted heirloom peppers, pickled onion, queso fresco, tomatillo salsa and a creamy apple cider honey dressing. It’s a sweet and savory flavor explosion designed to stand out.

In addition to the new salads,  Tocaya’s Kids Meal will now include two sides and a choice of Caliwater pouches or Boxed Water.
