Chicago Restaurant: Hottest New Catering and Delivery Options in Chicago

There is no shortage of catering or delivery options in Chicago, but it doesn't hurt to add a couple more Dining Chicago Restaurants to the mix. Especially when said additions are Mercadito Hospitality, the sizzlin' restaurant group that contains Mercadito, Tavernita, and Little Market Brasserie, and Jellyfish, the sultry pan-Asian lounge overlooking the Gold Coast. Dreams do come true: Mercadito Hospitalty is now offering catering, while Jellyfish can now be delivered to your front door, both of which allow customers to bring their favorite upscale flavors a little closer to home. 

Chicago Restaurants Mercadito, Tavernita, and Little Market Brasserie are revered for their fun, contemporary, stylish approach to eclectic cooking and drinking. The trifecta of downtown barstaurants knows how to have a good time and satisfy its guests with great food and great drinks. Sure you could queue up outside your restaurant of choice and grapplefor a seat, or you could just have them cater your next event. Because the only way Mercadito Hospitality could get any better is if your drunk aunt was enjoying it with you. The restaurants' wide gamut of creations is sure to fit just about any occasion imaginable, from lavish birthdays to divorce parties, because nothing says "I'm over you" like a platter of chips and guacamole. And let's not forget the drinks. The restaurants are just as renowned for their beverages as they are for their food, so you don't want to pass up Mercadito's margaritas, Tavernita's kegged cocktails, and Little Market's mixable housemade sodas. Both food and drink packages are entirely customizable, befitting any party size over 15. Menu packages range from $16 to $25 per guest, and build-your-own catering options range from $30 to $80 per guest. Catering orders can be placed by calling 312-361-3299 or emailing catering@mercaditohospitality.com. Do that.

(Let Mercadito Hospitality cater your next event and enjoy this goodness with your friends and frenemies.)

If you're within two miles of the Gold Coast and you find yourself craving yakitori chicken or sushi between the hours of noon and 10:00 p.m. and you're too tired to move, it's Jellyfish to the rescue! The pan-Asian eatery is now offering delivery for its takeout menu seven days a week, bringing its signature blend of Korean, Japanese, and French stylings to your doorstep. Or more likely to your doorman, since you probably live near the Gold Coast. Executive chef Jason Im's offerings include Peking duck wild arugula salad, crispy Szechuan spare ribs, shiitake fried rice, spicy tuna flatbread, sushi, and a Wagyu beef burger. A $5 delivery fee is incurred per order, which is a small price to pay for the convenience of such decadent delivery.
