Rucker's Bitchin' Kitchen

5:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., Thu, Oct 26, Le Pigeon, $175 per person
Le Pigeon's Gabriel Rucker celebrates his favorite holiday by honoring Guy Fieri, the Food Network star and tip-frosted, backwards sunglasses-wearing meme. Fieri's adventures through the American heartland have apparently proved inspiring for the James Beard Award-winning chef, who will reinterpret classics in five courses, including a plate of General Tso’s Buffalo Short Ribs with black truffle ranch and blue curaçao. Yum? Tickets here.

Wine and Halloween Candy Pairing

11 a.m.–6 p.m. Sat, Oct 28, Hip Chicks Do Wine, $12–16

100% Chocolate

10 a.m.–5 p.m. Sat, Oct 28, Providore Fine Foods, FREE
Is it a coincidence that National Chocolate Day and Halloween are so close to each other on the calendar? Of course not, and Providore takes notice this year with an all-day celebration of chocolate in every form. The morning highlights pastries and rich drinking chocolate, while the afternoon brings in chocolate makers from across the state. Finally, the evening pairs international makers with wine and cheese. In other words: clear your schedule.

Salt & Straw's Spooktacular Series

Thru Tue, Oct 31, all locations
Salt & Straw prefers the abstract these days. First, it was an airport-flavored flavor. For Halloween, they’re asking questions like “What do ghosts taste like?” Expect five flavors, including "Candycopia," Dracula Blood Pudding with real blood pudding, and frigid sherbet “Essence of Ghost.” 

Gulp Fiction

7 p.m.–midnight, Tue, Oct 31, Coopers Hall, $20

A portion of the night’s proceeds will go to the Hispanic Federation to support recovery efforts in Puerto Rico.
