About Big Delicious Planet

Big Delicious Planet is a hidden gem in Chicago’s West Town neighborhood, combining a chic industrial café/event space with a beautifully built-out commercial kitchen. Originally a factory building, the space was transformed in 2010 into the headquarters of our award-winning catering company, offering a unique blend of industrial character and warm, functional design. The indoor space features high ceilings, large windows, and abundant natural light, along with expansive skylights that make it especially ideal for film and photo shoots. The layout is flexible and can easily accommodate a variety of production needs—from food shoots to lifestyle content to staging and prep. Adjacent to the building is an outdoor area spanning three city lots. While no longer an active farm, the space includes existing raised beds, open pathways, and raw green space that can be styled or adapted depending on the needs of your production. Nestled between artist lofts, independent shops, and local cafés, the location offers a creative, urban backdrop that feels tucked away while still being just minutes from the Loop and the United Center. A private parking lot in front of the building makes load-in and crew access easy. Ideal for: • Film and photo shoots (please note: not a soundstage) • Food and product shoots • Production staging and prep • Lifestyle and editorial shoots Amenities (inventory subject to change) Furniture & Setup: • 1 built-in bar with wood front and white counter • 1 built-in side bar • 4 nine-foot wooden farm tables • 4 wood high-top tables • 3 white square metal café tables • 8 white industrial chairs • 5 wood crossback chairs • Multiple wood side tables • Outdoor lounge seating • Various rugs Facilities: • 2 restrooms (one with 2 toilets, one with 1 toilet + 1 urinal) Tech & Extras: • High-speed internet • Sonos sound system

What's up, I'm Holly! My work is rooted in observation, not imitation. I like to tell stories, ya know. My work moves past trends and curated aesthetics to capture something more honest: the subtle, unspoken essence of a person, a brand story, or moment. I pride myself in intentional stillness, creating a sense that nothing is forced and everything is felt, and through my work you can see your story unfold.Read more
