Exhibit: Tactile Dinner Car Filippo Marinetti's "The Futurist Cookbook," published in 1932, sought to make cooking more artsy. Or, in modern parlance, weird. "Excited Pig" calls for a skinned salami to be cooked in espresso, and then sauced with cologne. "Diabolical Roses," an appetizer, consists of deep-fried rose pedals. And the recipe for ball-bearing-stuffed "Chicken Fiat" concludes, "When the flesh has fully absorbed the flavor of the mild steel balls, the chicken is served with a garnish of whipped cream." Only a handful of establishments have tried to implement Marinetti's menu. The first was Marinetti's own La Taverna del Santopalato. Another venue is the D.C. gallery Flashpoint, whose current show is called "Tactile Dinner Car." The experience is more an homage to Marinetti's vision than a reproduction, but you'll still be able to eat pizza in a capsule off a sleek sports car that doubles as a food-prep station. Through Sept. 24 at Flashpoint Gallery, 916 G St. NW. Phone: 202.315.130. Web: www.flashpointdc.org.
