MORE THAN
A GREAT MEAL.

We bring the cooking, the conversation, and a little NDF personality. You bring the people worth gathering around.

Because the best meals aren’t just about what’s on the plate. They’re about who gets a seat at the table.

IN THE KITCHEN / AT YOUR TABLE

THE COOKING.
THE COMPANY.

The kitchen doesn't have to stay behind the scenes.

Watch a course come together. Ask where an ingredient came from. Learn a technique. Lend a hand—or stay at the table and let us handle everything.

Either way, the experience is built around you.

AS MUCH OR AS LITTLE INVOLVEMENT AS YOU WANT.

DINNER PARTIES / CELEBRATIONS / AT HOME

Your home. Our kitchen.

A dining experience built around your tastes, your guests, and the kind of night you want to have.

We plan the menu, cook in your space, serve the meal, and handle the cleanup—so you can spend the evening at the table instead of running back and forth to the kitchen.

04 / NOTHING TO HIDE

WHY
NUDE?

Nude means stripping food back to what matters.

Great ingredients. Thoughtful sourcing. Simple, intentional cooking. Nothing unnecessary getting between you and the food.

Our menus follow the seasons and the people we're feeding. Dietary needs are considered from the beginning—not treated as an afterthought—so everyone at the table gets something worth eating.

05 / THE PEOPLE BEHIND NDF

BUILT BY TWO FRIENDS.
GROWN BY A TEAM.

Seth and Ryan started NDF in 2017 after years of cooking, entertaining, and bringing people together. Today, that idea has grown into a team creating private dining, corporate dining, events, sourdough, and food experiences in Chicago and beyond.

The table got bigger. So did the team behind it.

06 / BEYOND THE TABLE

TAKING CARE
OF PEOPLE.

NDF has always been about more than the meal.

From IBD advocacy and cooking education to local farms, community organizations, and feeding people when it matters most, we believe hospitality extends beyond the table.

Good food is one way we take care of people.

OUR COMMUNITY
