Weekly What To Do: Chill Before Comic-Con

 “JUJUTSU KAISEN: Hidden Inventory / Premature Death – The Movie
GKIDS to Release the Theatrical Feature July 16-17th
 
JUJUTSU KAISEN: Hidden Inventory / Premature Death – The Movie comes to North American theaters nationwide beginning July 16th. The theatrical compilation feature returns to the widely beloved “Hidden Inventory / Premature Death” story arc of the globally acclaimed JUJUTSU KAISEN series, which focused on the younger days of fan-favorite characters Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto, who shared a deep bond that was tested by one fateful mission. Featuring newly remixed sound for an immersive theater experience, and an all-new acoustic version of Tatsuya Kitani’s “Where Our Blue Is,” this high-quality adaptation, which captivated audiences during its original broadcast, reaches new heights—bringing the powerful story back to the big screen.

"Mr. Beef, a sandwich shop in the River North neighborhood of Chicago, served as the inspiration for the family sandwich shop at the center of FX’s The Bear. It is best known for its Italian beef sandwiches.

“We’re super excited for this year’s event,” Uncle Paulie’s Deli co-founder and owner Paulie James shared with Los Angeles magazine. “After last year’s success, it was a no-brainer to do it again.”

From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day, Angelenos can load up on sandwiches from Mr. Beef owner Chris Zucchero, limited-edition merch and other tasty delights from HexClad (like a complimentary pickle cart) and Courtney Storer, The Bear’s Chicago-native culinary director. Early arrival is recommended to get ahead of the team’s anticipated sell-out.

Uncle Paulie’s Deli is located at 8053 W Third Street in Beverly Grove. "
