Sure, you've seen the "more than a gazillion served" signs under the Golden Arches, but we've found a milestone that we think is way cooler.
Nacional 27, that mecca of Latin fusion cuisine and cocktails in River North, is set to serve its 300,000th mojito next week, and you get to reap the rewards. If you're the lucky 300,000th person to order up one of master mixologist Adam Seger's luscious concoctions, you'll be blessed with them -- gratis! -- for an entire year.
Even if you're the 299,999th or the 300,001st person to order a cocktail, everyone benefits from "Mojito Week," which will be celebrated at Nacional 27 from Monday, Aug. 10 through Saturday, Aug. 15.
