CITY HALL— Some City Hall officials and activists are pushing for restaurants and other businesses to offer mandatory sick days. The Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce is against a city-wide measure, citing competitive advantages in other communities. Honey Butter Fried Chicken offers sick days, but acknowledges that puts them at a disadvantage. Ald. Joe Moreno (1st Ward) and labor group Arise Chicago back the mandate. [DNAinfo] UPDATE: Honey Butter's Christine Cikowski wrote in with a clarification on her restaurant's stance, saying sick days are beneficial as they help keep a more talented, happier staff. However, it allows slimmer profit margins versus restaurants who don't offer mandatory sick days, putting Honey Butter at a competitive disadvantage.
HUMBOLDT PARK— Sportsman's Club, home of one of Chicago's best patios, is restarting its Sunday summer barbecue series on Memorial Day weekend.

Check out their website for the food menus and schedule. [EaterWire]
