Odd Pairs is an event to highlight local businesses in Chicago that are doing original and unique things. The event, hosted by Chicago’s Crop to Cup Coffee Company and Bean and Body, features strange, yet succulent combinations of local flavors, served up socially. We headline chefs on the edge, pushing the envelope on flavor, talent and skill in tandem with sustainability and green practices guiding their businesses.
Our next Odd Pairs is Friday, October 23rd and our headliner is Cleetus Friedman of City Provisions. Stay tuned for a complete list of participants and menu. If you are a local Chicago business and would like to collaborate with Odd Pairs, see the Submit Odd Pairs tab above.
