Be an outlaw with your fork
There are plenty of last-minute foie gras blow-outs planned in Chicago, but amidst the sea of farewells the Outlaw Dinner at 676 Restaurant and Bar at the Omni Hotel caught my eye. Ninety-five bucks will buy you seven-courses of scandalous eats, with ingredients including hemp seeds, morels, absinthe, unpasteurized cheese and, of course, foie gras, including foie gras bonbons with pop rocks. The dinner is August 21 from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Anyone game?
