Food For Thought whisks together ingredients, community and a generous amount of sustainability. Add service, toss in distinguished venues, transfer to a plate. And serve.
We aim to give Chicagoland a peek inside the mind of one of this city’s most distinguished chefs while serving food that is worthy of gathering. We seek to bring you and your community around a table and have those tables filled with perfectly personalized dishes. We believe, in any service we provide, that a dish isn’t finished until it’s serving you and yours.
