X-marx Moveable Feasts

After adding “brush teeth” to your calendar, you wondered if your life was over scheduled. (Ya think?)

Spontaneity is good for the soul. Not to mention the stomach.

Get a taste at X-marx, an underground dinner club that sets up shop everywhere from West Side mansions to antique furniture galleries. Local chefs Abraham Conlon, Adrienne Lo, and John Bowers helm the kitchen; you BYOB and feast.

Sign up for the mailing list to learn about upcoming meals: At X-Markets (intimate five-course dinners), the chefs shop an ethnic hood the day of and improvise that night’s menu. March markets include Spanish, Portuguese-Asian fusion, and veggie. Junkets are preplanned, seven- to fourteen-course themed meals (think Belgian Beer and Chinese New Year).

X-marx will e-mail you 24 hours in advance with the deets (location, time).

You’ll gladly give them your order.

For more information, go to xmarxchicago.com.

Take cover: It’s almost Valentine’s Day. Peruse our lingerie arsenal to organize your panty raid.
