Yes, we know it’s frigid in the Windy City this time of year, but in the Affinia Chicago hotel restaurant, things are just heating up. Our vigilant ShermansTravel deal gurus hammered out an exclusive epicurean package with the decadent property that foodies will just eat up – literally! Starting from $199/night, the Chicago Gourmet package includes accommodations in a trendy room, a $50 cuisine and cocktail credit (redeemable at the acclaimed Marcus Samuelsson-owned C-House Restaurant), an autographed cookbook by the celebrity chef, and complimentary overnight parking. Plus, all ShermansTravel.com readers will receive a free room upgrade. This deal is valid for travel through March 31, 2011.

THE VALUE: The room upgrade is exclusive to ShermansTravel readers.

THE CATCH: The cheapest entrée for dinner is $16, so the $50 credit for two people might not go very far.

THE DETAILS: Visit www.affinia.com and use the promo code FOODIE. This offer is valid for travel through March 31, 2011.
