The Olympics may be over, but for Simone Biles the party is just beginning.
Biles, the Olympic all-around champion from the Paris Games, was seen out and about in Chicago on Saturday afternoon.
After watching her husband, Jonathan Owens, and the Bears play in a preseason game, she and a group of friends headed out for a lavish dinner at Maple & Ash restaurant.
A special menu awaited Biles at the restaurant, listing the food available for purchase but including the words “F*CKING OLYMPIC CHAMPION!”
Biles and her assembled guests also raised their glasses in a candlelit toast.

Biles looked like she was enjoying herself at Soldier Field as the Bears took on the Cincinnati Bengals.
However, he also earned the ire of some angry fans for his attire in this game after he committed a fashion and football faux pas.
He wore a custom jacket with black and white images of Owens printed on it, but all of those images were on the uniform he wore while playing for the Bears’ main rival: the Green Bay Packers.
As she walked the runway, Biles also sported a protective boot on her left foot due to a calf injury she sustained at the Olympics. She completed her look with a pair of reflective silver sunglasses, a black Prada bucket hat and a Balenciaga bag.
Despite her attempts to make a touching and supportive gesture toward Owens, Biles found herself thrust into one of the league’s fiercest rivalries, and fans weren’t impressed.
Owens played one season in Green Bay last year before moving across Lake Michigan to Chicago earlier this year.
As his other half prepared for his quest for gold in Paris, the safety agreed in March to a two-year contract with the Bears worth an estimated $4.5 million.
The gymnast seemed elated with her partner’s move and celebrated the arrangement in a series of tweets.

But earlier in the day, Biles drew the ire of NFL fans with her fashion choices.
“CHICAGO HERE IT COMES,” she posted before appearing to reveal that she has no plans to make a permanent move on her man.
“I’m so excited to not have a connecting flight to go see my husband hahahahaha,” she wrote in a follow-up message.
Yet despite her initial joy, amid more Olympic medals, it appears Biles hasn’t had time to update her game-day wardrobe.
Owens appears to have settled into his new NFL chapter in Chicago and the franchise even allowed him five days off from preseason training so he could travel to Paris to see his wife at the Olympics.
