Throw a Party in Full Fig [The Chicago Traveler]

Translate Into: Bilingual & Comments

Most people agree that you shouldn’t mix your love life with your workplace. But Molly Schemper and Justin Hall have not only managed to live and work together, they’ve started their own company called FIG Catering.

figsFIG (For Intimate Gatherings) is a cool catering service that provides a lot more than just a few foil pans full of lukewarm food. Whether it’s a private dinner for two or a fun party with 100 of your closest friends, FIG is there to make your small event memorable. They’ll make the invitations, hang the decorations, and even serve the food.

Tired of pizza at the office? Impress your coworkers or visiting clients with customizable hors d’oeuvres, salads, lunches, etc. From ethnic to organic to vegetarian, you can create a menu that will satisfy even the crankiest of cubicle colleagues.

Maybe you want to cook but never learned how. If your culinary skills are limited to boiling water and burning toast, FIG also offers individual, couple, and group classes. There are also Girls’ Night parties, kids’ cooking parties, and corporate team-building classes available.

The next time you have a small event to plan, let Schemper and Hall figure it out.
