Big Delicious Planet

Big Delicious Planet is a Woman Owned Business, and is one of the most sought after Chicago event caterers for straight and LGBTQ+ clients who want delicious, vibrant food with sustainability in mind. When you choose BDP, you can count on receiving top-notch planning, creative menus and impeccable service. We've been the in-house caterer for Facebook, and with our background in concert and high level event catering we have catered for special guests like Barack Obama, the Dalai Lama, Aerosmith, Tom Petty, and Madonna, to name a few. In 2013, the Green Restaurant Association awarded Big Delicious Planet the highest green rating they had ever given a catering company. Along with the 4 Star Certified Green rating (the only one in Illinois!), we were named "Greenest Caterer in America" - a title we still hold in 2020! We're proud of our commitment to the environment in all aspects of our catering, urban farm, and cafe operation, and continue to improve our conservation efforts and our purchasing practices. We have an urban farm just 15ft from our building with 72 raised beds and grow over 150 varieties of nearly 50 crops and also maintain three beehives, and we are typically harvesting the majority of our veggies from from June through October and we love to customize our menus to highlight the produce we're growing those months, and in our off-season, source organic produce and sustainable proteins. We've been a woman-owned business since 1994 and in 2019, catered over 50 weddings at beautiful venues across the city. From the moment we receive your Questionnaire we are getting to know you and the vision you have for your event and we create a custom proposal that is a reflection of who you are. Our team of talented and experienced event producers will collaborate with you to create a delicious custom food and beverage menu, coordinate rentals with your decor details, and most importantly execute all details to perfection on your big day.
