Rialto chef-owner Jody Adams always has something on her plate. Here's a taste of what she's up to in July – and how you can join in.
July 8, 22 & 29: For Rialto's Cabaret Dinner series, she'll be busy cooking a three-course Sicilian meal that you can enjoy along with a performance from the nationally acclaimed Summer Stages Dance program. As dessert's served, the performance gets underway right at the restaurant with dancer-choreographer David Parker and The Bang Group doing an all-dance rendition of Annie Get Your Gun (7 PM; $150 per person, includes tax and gratuity; for tickets call 978-402-2339, ext. 3, or go to www.summerstagesdance.org).
July 11: Adams is speaking and cooking – you get to sample – at the Institute of Contemporary Art as part of its Talking Taste program (6:30 PM; free with museum admission; 100 Northern Ave.; 617-478-3100).
July 15 & 16: Highlighting her recent trip to Italy, Adams will prepare a four-course menu served with wine at Rialto's annual Sicilian Wine BBQ (6 PM reception, 6:30 PM dinner; $95 per person, includes tax and gratuity; 617-661-5050).
July 15–21: In honor of Cocktail Week, she's giving you a deal where every night – all night – two drinks and an appetizer go for $20.08.
