1935 is powered by fuelgood, a company focused on wellness and positive experiences through food, drink, service, and spaces.

 

Fuelgood offers an innovative approach to providing food service solutions for companies and property managers. Whether it’s integrating a café or market into an existing space or starting an operation from scratch we will be involved at every step of the planning. Our service focuses on the highest quality experience for your employees, tenants, or patrons. This includes our housemade menu items, in-house trained staff, the layout of the space and equipment used, and activations or pop-ups that will engage your diners – fueling them with a positive experience.

 

Fuelgood was born out of a simple motto – what you put in is what you get out. What we put in is high-quality ingredients sourced from local farms, highly trained in-house staff, and thoughtfully curated décor and design. What you get is a company and business with a competitive edge that leads to higher employee retention, a more productive workforce, and a company culture others will envy.

fuelgood’s greenhouse

 

In order to execute flawless experiences, we like to have control over the smallest of details. By utilizing our on-site greenhouse, we’re able to ensure that the ingredients in every menu are truly fresh and all-natural. This allows us to add layers of uncompromised flavor and beauty to our food, surpassing every preconceived notion of what guests expect to be served at an event. We use all organic practices, hand-pick daily, rinse with care, and cool each item to an ideal temperature. The greenhouse also allows us to simulate seasonal conditions to produce bountiful yields all year round.

sourcing locally

 

During the typical Midwest growing season, our team works to source as locally as possible. You can find the ingredients purchased from local markets – such as Green City Market in Lincoln Park – in the food served at Café 1935. Sourcing locally helps the environment by reducing the amount of gas required to ship the product, it reduces packaging waste, and it promotes transparency of the growing practices of the farms. Some of our favorite farms are listed below.
