There are several ways football fans can score free food in and around Chicago in celebration of the Bears showdown against the Packers Saturday.
At 7 p.m., the Chicago Bears face off against the Green Bay Packers for the wild card NFC playoff game at Soldier Field.
Numerous restaurants and a grocery store chain are offering discounts or sweepstakes to up the ante on the rare game. Some are offered during the game, and others are contingent on a win or other specific actions by players, coaches and fans.
Here’s a look at how you can score freebies:
Fat Rosie’s Taco Bell & Tequila Bar
Fat Rosie’s Taco Bell and & Tequila Bar is offering $1 tequila shots for every touchdown the Bears score on Saturday and a 10 tacos for $25 deal.
The mexican restaurant has locations in several suburban areas, including Schaumburg, Rosemont, Oakbrook and Naperville.

Buona Beef
Buona, one of Chicago’s most popular Italian beef spots, is offering a chance to score free sandwiches for a year during the game.
The first five football fans to correctly guess the final score of the game in a comment on one of Buona’s social media posts will get free beef for a year.

Wieners Circle
As they’ve done in the past, Wieners Circle is again offering free hot dogs to Bears fans if specific goals are hit during the game.
An offer the restaurant made for free hot dogs to honor William “Refrigerator” Perry, who scored a pair of touchdowns during the 1985 Super Bowl championship season for the Bears, still stands. As announced in a social media post, the Wieners Circle will give away free hot dogs if any Bears defender or offensive lineman scores a touchdown on a designated offensive play this season.
Wieners Circle upped their offering for the Bears game against the Packers in a post on X on Wednesday.
If the Bears defense of special teams returns a touchdown in the game and the team wins, the Wieners Circle will offer free hot dogs Tuesday.
The other route to free dogs? Defensive Coordinator Dennis Allen has to dance the macarena.
Jewel-Osco
If the Bears triumph over the Packers, Jewel-Osco is offering $7 off any purchase of $7 or more to rewards members.
The deal would be available January 12 through 16.
The grocery store chain announced the deal on social media Friday.
Yuzu Chicago
Japanese restaurant Yuzu Chicago, located at 1751 West Chicago Avenue in the city’s West Town neighborhood, is offering free deep fried gyoza if the Bears win.
The restaurant announced the deal in a social media post on Thursday.
The deal would be valid for both dine-in and takeout orders on January 11.
