Wednesday, 4/10: Skip the peanuts and Cracker Jack so you don’t spoil your “baseball cut” steak dinner at Socca (3301 N. Clark St., 773-248-1155). The reasonably sized eight-ounce steaks cost only $10, with side dishes like ricotta gnocchi and broccoli rabe available à la carte.

Those supping on this week’s three-course menu can choose their entrée from whitefish and hush puppies, wood-grilled sirloin with white beans and Tuscan kale, or ricotta ravioli with sweet peas and shiitake mushrooms. Call for reservations.
