National Sandwich Month at Mariela Chicago

August 11, 2026 by Chi@glance

I love a good themed National Holiday and the one Iโ€™m sharing with you did not disappoint. #Nationalsandwichmonth is in August. What better place to celebrate than the newly opened Mariela Chicago Restaurant.

Mariela opened in May of this year. The global coastal restaurant is located inside Stay Pineapple boutique hotel. Mariela tells a story of oceans and origins. From the warm coastal kitchens of Southeast Asia to the shorelines of the Americas and Europe, the menu follows the currents of migration, memory, and the incredible bounty that every coast has to offer.

For National Sandwich Month Mariela is celebrating with three special sandwiches:

I had such a good time @Chicago_Gourmet Grand Cru I had such a good time @Chicago_Gourmet Grand Cru second session last night hosted by @Chefsarahjayne and @Cshepherd13.

Grand Cru is a world class tasting tour for the true food lover, and this year the rhythm is global dance. Award-winning chefs brought a high energy pulse to every plate. The culinary dishes were paired with a masterclass in premium wines and spirits for a refined, rhythmic journey across cultures and cuisines. My FAVORITE bite of the night was @Johnsfoodandwine Murasaki Sweet Potato Brรปlรฉe. I got in line twice for that! 

Last call! Do you have your tickets for Rise & Shine Gourmet today? ๐‘ณ๐’†๐’• ๐’€๐’๐’–๐’“ ๐‘ป๐’‚๐’”๐’•๐’†๐’ƒ๐’–๐’…๐’” ๐‘ซ๐’‚๐’๐’„๐’†.

I absolutely LOVE our artistic community! I was in I absolutely LOVE our artistic community! I was invited to an exclusive meet the artist event at Michelin Star @Esme_Chicago with acclaimed, Chicago born contemporary artist, @Hebrubrantley. The event was presented alongside @artehausstudios and @Framechicago.

The meet and greet was in celebration of Esmรฉโ€™s newest menu transition and multi-sensory dining collaboration with Brantley. (Once and Future exhibition) Favorite dishes from throughout Esmรฉโ€™s history have been reimagined through the singularity of Brantleyโ€™s narrative driven work and are utilized as a canvas to further spotlight his multifaceted ideas and powerful cultural commentaries. 

The restaurant is transformed into an immersive, pop-up gallery space, showcasing a selection of Brantleyโ€™s paintings and sculptures peppered throughout the dining room. What a fun way to mix art with food! Thanks to Chef @jennertomaska and team for the yummy cocktails and bites. ๐Ÿ˜‹ Make your reservations on Opentable!
