By "Ghetto" we mean totally awesome

The Ghetto Gourmet, which the San Fransisco Bay Guardian referred to as a "renegade roving supper club," is "roving" back on into Chicago for five nights at the end of this month and the beginning of May. If you haven't already been out to one of these events, it's well worth the cash, especially because the Beer Cheese soup raved about in this review will be on the menu for two of the nights.

Food this delicious and a night this cool don't come cheap. It's $45-$50 per person, but if you can't come up with the money why not volunteer to help out one of the nights? You might end up doing dishes for 40 people, but working hard for your meal will never taste so good.

"The Ghet" will be in town April 27-28 and May 2, 4 and 5. "Forbidden Empanadas" (with ground pork, foie gras, Granny Smith apples and dried cherries) are on the menu for each night, but the entrees, soups and desserts vary each night.

Order tickets early; some of the nights sold out early last month. Also, there was talk of a potential rooftop dinner during their last visit.
