Since 2007, underground dining project X-marx Chicago has been dishing out fine cuisine to Chicagoans lucky enough to have gotten word of their dinners. This weekend, join X-marx co-creator and executive chef, Abe Conlon, along with guest chef Jeff Pikus for a Southeast Asian Wine dinner, featuring wine pairings by Craig Perman of Perman Wine Selections. Inspired by a recent trip to Vietnam, Chef Pikus will be focusing on Vietnamese flavors while Chef Conlon creates intricate and thoughtful Cambodian and Thai dishes, for this ten course tasting menu in X-marx's warm and welcoming south loop loft space.

Friday's dinner will begin at 7:30 pm and Saturday's will begin at 7:00pm, both lasting around 3ish hours. Click here to sign up for Friday's dinner and here for Saturday's dinner. Check their website and their profile on The Ghet for more information and pictures. Lots of pictures. That we may or may not have been looking at all morning and drooling while we should be working. Ahem.
