Culinary Underground at Embassy Suites Rockford Riverfront puts a fun spin on comfort food with playful dishes, creative cocktails, and Rockford-inspired flair.
Culinary Underground at Embassy Suites Rockford Riverfront offers travelers a playful twist on classic comfort food with dishes like a fried bologna sandwich, Not Grandma’s Meatloaf Sandwich with pomegranate ketchup, the Wagyu “Culinary Underdog” hot dog, and figs in a blanket stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped in pizza dough. Guests can pair their meal with inventive cocktails such as Sip Happens, a pineapple-and-tequila creation topped with sea salt foam, or try local beer-and-shot combos called Handshakes. With bold Rockford-inspired art and interactive table games, it’s a dining experience that’s as fun as it is flavorful.
