Maddys' Dumpling House Brunch Edition
Salero
We've attended many editions of Chef Chrissy Camba's pop up supper club and each one offers a bounty of delicious food in a fun environment. This month she tackles brunch with dishes like corned beef hash sticky rice and longaniza steam buns. Grab a ticket here.
Cochon 555
Morgan Manufacturing (401 N. Morgan)
The pork-centric event returns to Chicago for an epic competitive feast of pork cookery (and plenty of booze, we speak from experience). If you missed out on Bacon Fest or if you just want more pork, this is an event worth checking out. Grab a ticket here.
