What started as Polo Nuts and Candy, Etc. in 1985, evolved into Polo Cafe and Catering Bridgeport U.S.A. which will mark its 25th Anniversary on Valentine's Day, 2015 in buildings build in 1914, and includes a tin ceiling/maple floor 50-seat dining room, plus an attached elegant Old Eagle Room which accommodates up to 100 guests in what was once a neighborhood picture show called, "The Eagle." And, in 2008, the Bridgeport Bed and Breakfast was established above the legendary Polo Cafe where guests eat cook-to-order breakfasts during their stay. Complimentary lighted parking completes this unique Chicago gem whose motto is "Something different . . . something wonderful!" through their commitment to excellence in real Chicago hospitality.
FIG Catering doesn't aim to be the biggest, the fanciest, the hippest, or the “greenest” caterer in Chicago – just the right creative, personal service-oriented caterer to serve up fantastic food for your intimate gathering. Flexible, too: Local or organic? Vegetarian? Ethnic? Exotic? At your service. We offer small event catering services for groups from 2-150, providing amazing food in your home, office, or at a great Chicago-land venue. We customize menus so while you’ll find some sample menus on this site we don’t want you to feel like you’re limited to those options. Justin and Molly started FIG in 2005 with the intention of being a company that really caters to our clients. Along the way we figured out that catering to our clients should also include catering to their environment – making responsible decisions to decrease waste, reduce our carbon footprint, and use local resources. FIG has been hesitant to proclaim our “greenness” because we eschew greenwashing in any way, but we realize that we do make a great effort in many areas and it’s important to some of you. So if you want to read more about what we do, follow this link. To find out more about any of our services, follow the links at the top of the page. Want fun emails from FIG?

With a history dating as far back as the 1800’s when the building belonged to The Chicago Illuminating Company, a predecessor of ComEd, the space boasts an urban, contemporary flair and reflects the resurgence of the South Loop neighborhood. Operated under the direction of Marta Michulka since 2004, the venue is noted for premier events including corporate and social, galas, weddings, product launches and film shoots. 19 East is now owned and managed by Food For Thought, Chicago's premium catering company. Marta Michulka will continue to operate the property and venue immediately adjacent at 2110 South Wabash Avenue. It will be marketed under the name of the Chicago Illuminating Company. “I look forward to working with Food For Thought to leverage special event opportunities that showcase the unique qualities of both venues,” said Michulka. Nancy Sharp, Food For Thought’s Chief Executive Officer, notes that the acquisition was a natural choice given the resurgence of the city’s Cultural Mile. “South Michigan Avenue has seen an explosion of growth in civic, retail, cultural and business development,” says Sharp. “What were once traditional manufacturing buildings, are now hosting the finest events in the city. We are thrilled to be a part of this South Loop renaissance, which has also attracted many prominent hoteliers and restaurateurs to the neighborhood. The investment into the Cultural Mile is the perfect representation of the Food For Thought brand,” adds Sharp.
