You never know where or when chef Alex Pope and food writer Jenny Vergara will pop up with a new, "performance piece" pop-up restaurant . Through Friday, they're setting up a tent in front of the Steamboat Arabia Museum in the City Market to create a carnival-style culinary experience,
Vagabond 5.0–an Urban Carnival, featuring popcorn tossed with shrimp and black truffles; chipotle corn dogs; butter-poached fresh corn splashed with lime juice and morita chile; and, yes, fried bourbon funnel cakes, sprinkled with cardamom sugar and topped with cucumber ice cream and candied melon. French wines, too. The adults-only event, from 6 to 10 p.m., costs $70 per person. See
