Big Delicious Planet

CHICAGO CITY GUIDE

"Big Delicious Planet is a hidden gem in the industrial corridor of Chicago’s West Town neighborhood. A pioneer in Chicago’s sustainable dining scene, BDP has evolved from a backstage rock & roll caterer founded in 1994 to a certified green urban farm-to-table operation. Owner Heidi Moorman Coudal transformed three adjacent vacant lots into a lush farm with 77 raised beds of organic vegetables, herbs, edible flowers, and three beehives. In 2013 BDP became the first caterer in the country to earn 4-Star Certified Green Restaurant status from the Green Restaurant Association, and still holds the title of “Greenest Caterer in America.” BDP’s ticketed summer Urban Farm Dinners attract people from near and far looking for a unique dining experience in our own Urban Farm (or indoors for inclement weather or in the cooler months). Our event and culinary teams choose a weekly theme to inspire the direction of each three hour dinner. Each night's four-course menu showcases BDP’s own daily harvest and commitment to local sourcing. All beverages are included! Host your intimate wedding, private milestone celebration, corporate dinner or holiday party in BDP's Urban Farm or indoor space by reaching out to our event team at hello@bigdeliciousplanet.com."
