DeRo and Kot Become Foodies For One Night

By Chuck Sudo in Food on May 29, 2009 3:40PM

We know that Sound Opinions hosts Jim Derogatis and Greg Kot have some staunch viewpoints on popular music. But how would they fare if they veered out of their comfort zone? Say, at a dinner?

Find out when DeRo and Kot team up with Efrain Cuevas of Clandestino Dining for a special fundraiser dinner benefitting Sound Opinions and Chciago Public Radio. Derogatis and Kot are picking five albums for Cuevas, who will prepare dishes inspired by the records. Candid Wines is providing wine pairings for the meal and Sound Opinions presenting sponsor Audio Consultants will have a top-notch sound system set to provide background music; we're hoping for a lot of Sabbath.

At $250, the cost of the dinner isn't cheap, but Sound Opinions is one of those programs that doesn't make us switch the dial after five seconds and Cuevas has become a stronger chef with each of these dinners. The location of the dinner will be announced to attendees via e-mail the week of the event, RSVP here.
