Residents can be part of television magic on Tuesday when WGN’s “Chicago’s Best” visits one of Oak Lawn’s most popular restaurants.

Dottie Zietara received confirmation that DeJa Brew Bar and Grille’s loaded Bloody Mary will be featured in a segment about restaurants on 95th Street from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday (Oct. 28).

“Chicago’s Best” hosts Elliott Bambrough and Brittney Payton taste their way through Chicago in search of the city and suburbs’ best bites at TV viewers’ suggestions.

Zietara said viewers suggested DeJa Brew as a must-stop when the show was looking for 95th Street restaurants on the “Chicago’s Best” Facebook page. Producers of the show called last week, asked to see a menu and selected the Brew’s loaded Bloody Mary.

She describes the libation as a “meal in a glass,” with an excellent mix of top secret spices, vodka, cucumbers, carrots and celery, that is topped off with a mini-apple bacon cheeseburger.

If you live or work in Oak Lawn, stop by Deja Brew Bar and Grille at 5219 W. 95th Street on Tuesday and watch the “Chicago’s Best” crew tape the segment. The show encourages featured restaurants to invite as many people as possible and all are welcome. There is parking behind the restaurant.

“We’re trying to get as many people as possible,” Zietara said. “It all happened really fast.”

New episodes air at 10 p.m. Sundays, and 5:30 p.m. Saturdays, on WGN Ch. 9. You can also catch “Chicago’s Best” on CLTV throughout the week.
