There are specials celebrating the fifth anniversary of Gemini Bistro’s (2075 N. Lincoln Ave., Lincoln Park, 773-525-2522) opening all week long, but this one caught our eye (and stomach). Today, the restaurant’s signature burger, topped with applewood smoked bacon and served with fries, only costs $5. Several beers will be on offer for $5 as well.

Mmm, pork. Two of Chicago’s pig-heavy newbie restaurants, Tête Charcuterie and Bohemian House, will be teaming up for a dinner party at Tête (1114 W. Randolph St., West Loop, 312-733-1178) in which chefs from each spot will get half a pig from Slagel Family Farm to do with what they please. Get your $70 ticket by calling the restaurant.

Start off the weekend with a ton of beer at Festivale, a fundraiser for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation taking place at Carmichael’s (1052 W. Monroe St., West Loop). In addition to sampling the wares of several local brewers, you can up your pork consumption for the week: chefs from Frontier and Sunda will be roasting two full-size pigs to provide some of the snacks. Buy $65 tickets here.
