Dr. Murphy’s Food Hall to Open in Historic Cook County Hospital Summer 2020
Wed Jul 1, 12:00 AM - Thu Jul 30, 12:00 AM

Hospitality HQ (HHQ), the bespoke culinary consulting and management group helmed by award-winning chef Akhtar Nawab, announced today that they will open Dr. Murphy’s Food Hall within the historic Cook County Hospital, 1835 W. Harrison St., in the summer of 2020. Situated on Chicago’s Near West Side, Dr. Murphy’s Food Hall will be the only destination of its kind in the area, providing unique and delicious dining opportunities and accessible options to those visiting and working in the largest urban concentration of healthcare institutions, biotechnology hubs and technology-based incubators in the country. Named in recognition of Dr. John B. Murphy - one of America's preeminent pioneering surgeons through the turn of the last century who studied, interned and taught at Cook County Hospital – the 10,000 sq. ft. Dr. Murphy’s Food Hall space will include eight distinctive chef-driven vendors, a vibrant bar and a lounge.

“This project has a special place in my heart because my father completed his residency at the Old Cook County Hospital,” said Chef Nawab. “I feel passionately about bringing quality, nourishing food to underserved neighborhoods, and there is definitely a dearth of options within the Illinois Medical District area. We look forward to serving the thousands of medical professionals, students and educators who spend most of their waking hours here, as well as creating an inviting dining experience for new residents, guests, and visitors of Cook County.”
