Tonight at 7 PM, in an undisclosed location, chef Efrain Cuevas‘s underground dining company Clandestino will cater a fund-raiser for WBEZ hosted by Jim Derogatis and Greg Kot, of the show Sound Opinions. The five-course dinner pairs food and wine with five albums they’ve chosen, among them Curtis Mayfield’s Superfly, Naked Raygun’s Throb Throb, and Mavis Staples’s We’ll Never Turn Back. Courses include Memphis pulled pork with a buttermilk waffle, tomato-rhubarb barbecue sauce, pickled carrot, and rhubarb relish; chicken “confit” and greens agnolotti, chicken and greens roulade, and chicken consomme; and herb-crusted hanger steak with braised marrow, potato terrine, and oyster mushroom ragout. $250; reservations here.
