Private jet menu for Chicago

A short, working selection — not the full carte. This is what the kitchen boards most often for a Chicago departure: classics that travel, plated for cabin altitude, sourced the same morning.

The Altitude Dining kitchenUnited States

To start
Lake Michigan Perch Rillettes
Flaked smoked perch blended with crème fraîche, dill, and a shallot pickle, served in individual glass pots with sourdough crackers. A quiet expression of the city's freshwater larder.
Cold main
Chicago Dry-Aged Beef Tenderloin
Sliced cold and fanned over a watercress and grain-mustard dressing, finished with shaved horseradish and a roasted-shallot vinaigrette. Portioned for clean, unfussy cabin service.
Hot main
Braised Short Rib with Soft Polenta
Midwestern beef braised low and slow with red wine and aromatics, rested and reheated to order. Accompanied by stone-ground polenta and a gremolata of lemon and flat-leaf parsley.
Morning
Smoked Whitefish and Soft Scramble
Free-range scrambled eggs set gently, topped with flaked smoked whitefish, a spoonful of soured cream, and snipped chives. A composed morning plate that holds well in a hot box.
Pâtisserie
Illinois Honey and Walnut Danish
Laminated dough enriched with local wildflower honey, layered with candied walnuts and a light vanilla cream. Baked on the morning of departure and packed for ambient service.
To finish
Dark Chocolate and Espresso Torte
A dense, flourless torte built around 70% Madagascan chocolate and a double-shot espresso reduction, finished with a thin cocoa glaze. Sliced to order and stable at cabin temperature for the duration of most flights.

Inflight Catering · Chicago

Private aviation catering at MDW

Midway's position inside Chicago's city fabric means the market comes to us rather than the other way around. From the Polish delis of the Southwest Side to the Fulton Market District's celebrated purveyors, the ingredients that define Chicago's culinary reputation are sourced and in our kitchen before most cities have finished their morning briefing. That proximity translates directly into the freshness your crew and passengers experience at altitude. Chicago has never been a one-note food city. Alongside its iconic steakhouses and deep-dish institutions, the city sustains a serious fine-dining culture — Michelin-recognised chefs, independent charcutiers, and specialist condiment makers whose products rarely leave the metropolitan area. For Chicago private jet catering out of MDW, we draw on that entire ecosystem, selecting producers suited to your flight profile, dietary brief, and the number of covers on board.

Regional Catering Menu · Chicago

Chicago inflight catering

The city's beef heritage gives us access to dry-aged cuts from artisan Chicagoland butchers, portioned and vacuum-sealed to perform reliably in a galley. We pair these with composed accompaniments — grain mustards, horseradish creams, and roasted-shallot jus — prepared in our kitchen and chilled to transport standards. Smoked whitefish and Lake Michigan perch appear regularly on our cold starters when the season supports them, offering a regional counterpoint to more familiar inflight catering programmes. On the sweet side, Chicago's Ukrainian Village and Pilsen neighbourhoods sustain a pastry tradition that blends Eastern European technique with American ingredient abundance. Our pâtisserie team takes cues from that heritage: laminated doughs with local honey, fruit tarts built around Illinois-grown stone fruit in season, and a dark-chocolate torte that travels without compromise. Kosher provisions are available with a minimum of 24 hours' notice, sourced through certified suppliers in the greater Chicago area.
