Chicago Chef Battle: Dessert Edition
WBEZ presents its third annual Chicago Chef Battle tonight at Kendall College, 900 N. North Branch St., from 7 to 10pm. This time it's a dessert battle, featuring Ben Roche, formerly of MOTO; Dinah Grossman from Cheap Tart; Jonathan Ory from Bad Wolf Coffee; Dana Cree from Blackbird; and Jessica Oloroso from Black Dog Gelato, competing to make the best desserts incorporating Intelligentsia's Kilogram teas. Tickets are $12 for WBEZ members, $15 for non-members and $10 for students.
Thieves Like Us @ Patio Theater
The Northwest Chicago Film Society presents a screening of Robert Altman's Thieves Like Us, starring Keith Carradine and Shelley Duvall, tonight at 7:30pm at the Patio Theater, 6008 W. Irving Park Rd. Admission is $5.
Thee Oh Sees, The Blind Shake, OBN IIIs @ Empty Bottle
Thee Oh Sees tour often and release music at a Ty Segall-like rate. The garage/noise/post-punk band's shows are frenetic and fascinating in their chaos. They'll play two nights at the Empty Bottle, 1035 N. Western Ave., with Austin's OBN IIIs and Minneapolis' the Blind Shake, two garage-rock bands that have been lighting it up for years. Thee Oh Sees headline. The shows are 21+, $15 and start at 9pm.
