Event Details
Set in the middle of our hidden West Town urban farm, each of our four-course family-style dinners highlights our creative event planning, innovative menus and commitment to sustainable urban agriculture. Each dinner is curated by our talented event producers, with menus created by BDP Chef de Cuisine, Tom Bronny. Each evening has a different menu, incorporating the dozens of organic crops we’ll be harvesting the morning of the dinner.
Dinners begin at 6:00pm and conclude at 9:00pm. After checking in with our staff, guests mingle and enjoy appetizers and cocktails while walking around our 64 raised garden beds. Around 7:00pm guests will be seated at our 26 person farm table to a beautiful salad course, and we'll give a brief introduction to Big Delicious Planet, Chicago's only 4-Star Certified Green Restaurant. Next, we'll serve a family-style dinner with entrees (usually 1 meat, 1 fish) and several side dishes, and conclude with one of our delicious seasonal desserts.
We hope to see you this summer!Heidi Coudal & the BDP crew
