  • It's dinner and a show this evening at Brasserie JO (59 W. Hubbard). Guests this evening will be treated to traditional French Christmas carols courtesy of students from LaSalle Language Academy at 7 p.m.
  • Epic (112 W. Hubbard, 312-222-4940) opens today. Helmed by chef Stephen Wambach (most recently the corporate chef for Laurent Tourondel’s acclaimed BLT Restaurants) with rock star pastry chef Christine McCabe (Charlie Trotter, Gabriel Viti), Epic will focus on contemporary American cuisine with a French influence. Think hamachi with artichoke, blood orange and Meyer lemon and seared halibut with caramelized cauliflower and hazelnut emulsion.
