Filipino food continues to make inroads into the mainstream in Chicago, though it’s still a long way from the near-universal acceptance of Thai food or sushi. If you want to get a taste of another side of the cuisine, sign up for Filipino Kitchen’s No Guts No Glory dinners this Friday and Saturday at Ampersand, the pop-up space next to Kinmont. Chef A.C. Boral’s focus will be on street food, especially the kind made with offal cuts like marrow, tripe, and pig ears. (It’s also a bit of a reunion for the cast of this Reader story, including underground chef Julia Pham and journalist Sarahlynn Pablo, as well as the above picture of sinangag.) The dinners, which include drink pairings, are $70; go here for more info and tickets.

• Barley’s Angels Chicago, a group devoted to increasing participation by women in craft brewing, has its first event of the year at the Bar on Buena on Tuesday, January 27; it’s a Belgian Beer tasting. Tickets are here.
