Air & Water Show: Specialty Menus for Your Rooftop Watch Party
There are few things Chicagoans will stop in their tracks for: a perfectly grilled char dog (with celery salt and sport peppers, please), a 90 degrees and sunny skyline, and of course – the Air & Water Show.
This year is the 61st annual and all of Chicago will gather on the roof decks, patios and pools of the Gold Coast to watch the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds zoom through the open sky on Saturday, August 17 and Sunday, August 18th.
It’s one of our favorite summer days at EC, and we’re excited to share three custom Air & Water Show menus that your rooftop guests will love.

Smoked Salmon Presentation | Thinly sliced smoked salmon, Bermuda onion, chopped egg, tomato, whipped cream cheese and freshly baked bagels.
