THE LOOP — The Palmer House Hilton, the reported inventor of the brownie, is offering a pretty sweet deal this weekend.
The historic Loop hotel's Lockwood Restaurant is rolling out a special brownie menu beginning Thursday, National Brownie Day.
From Thursday through Sunday the restaurant at 17 E. Monroe St. will serve $9 specialty desserts ranging from breakfast brownie pancakes with apricot powdered sugar to brownie martinis with vanilla vodka and Godiva dark chocolate.
The restaurant will also serve complimentary "brownie bites" to guests all day Thursday.
The Palmer House has a special affinity for brownies, which were reportedly created by Bertha Palmer for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition. The word "brownie" was first published in an 1893 Sears, Roebuck & Co. catalog.
Here's the full brownie menu:
