Drinks & Good Times in the Heart of Chicago
The Hunt at Logan is a café, a studio, and a cultural experience rooted in the legacy of Richard Hunt, one of America’s most celebrated sculptors.
Our Menu
At The Hunt, the menu is our canvas.
Developed by the culinary team at Carver 47 Food & Wellness Market and powered by the creative ethos of Little Black Pearl, our offerings are designed to fuel the mind, nourish the body, and reflect the rich cultural landscape of the South Side. We believe good food should be as thoughtful as the art on the walls around you, made with intention, grounded in tradition, and open to reinterpretation.
We serve all day, because creativity doesn't run on a schedule. Start your morning with our house-made buttermilk biscuit breakfast sandwich, a warm bowl of steel cut oats with fresh berries, or a cold-pressed Moses Juice packed with beet, carrot, ginger, and citrus. Fuel up for an afternoon with the Hunt Bowl, turmeric rice, black-eyed pea succotash, garlic kale, and a honey-jerk vinaigrette that ties it all together, or go deep with the BBQ Jerk Salmon Burger, a house-made patty with bold Caribbean-inspired flavor on a brioche bun.
Our drinks menu is equally deliberate: single-origin pour overs, rose cardamom lattes, house-made chai concentrates, and seasonal smoothies that change with what's fresh and what feels right.
The dish names tell a story, too. The Woodlawn. The Sculpture. The Bloom. These aren't just labels — they're love letters to the neighborhood, the art, and the people who make this corner of Chicago extraordinary.
Every item is made with real ingredients, real care, and real pride. Because at The Hunt, feeding people well is its own form of artistry.
Coffee
We take coffee seriously without taking it too far. Drip, espresso, lattes, and a rotating lineup of seasonal drinks made with house-made concentrates and quality ingredients. The kind of cup that makes you want to stay a little longer.
Juices & Smoothies
Cold-pressed, made to order, and packed with purpose. Our juices and smoothies are built from real fruit, fresh vegetables, and ingredients that do the work — whether you're starting your morning, powering through an afternoon, or just treating yourself to something that tastes as good as it makes you feel.
Sandwiches
Every sandwich on our menu is built with the same care we put into everything else. House-made sauces, quality proteins, and ingredients that actually belong together. From a simple grilled cheese to our BBQ Jerk Salmon Burger, there's something here for wherever your appetite is at.
Breakfast
All-day and made from scratch. Whether you're building your own breakfast sandwich on a house-made buttermilk biscuit, digging into a breakfast burrito, or keeping it simple with steel cut oats and fresh berries, our breakfast menu is designed to set the tone for whatever comes next.
Richard Hunt
Richard Hunt was Chicago. Born and raised on the South Side, he grew up in the Woodlawn neighborhood, the same community that surrounds the Logan Center today, and went on to become one of the most celebrated American sculptors of the 20th and 21st centuries.
Hunt has a rich and deep history with the University of Chicago, taking academic courses during the evenings in his youth, and working as a zoological laboratory assistant from 1951 to 1957. His professional contributions extended to serving on the university's Visiting Committee on the Visual Arts from 1977 to 1997.
Hunt studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where his mastery of welded metal began to take shape. Working primarily in steel, bronze, and aluminum, he developed a signature style that defied easy categorization: organic yet architectural, rooted yet reaching, deeply human in form while hovering at the edge of abstraction. His sculptures seemed to grow rather than be built, as if the metal itself had something it needed to say.
Over a career spanning more than seven decades, Hunt created more than 160 public commissions across the United States, with two works sited on the University of Chicago's campus-Why? (1974) at the Smart Museum of Art and Becoming (2020) at the Disciples Divinity House.
Hunt's works are in the collections of more than 130 prominent art museums and institutions worldwide, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Modern Art, and The British Museum.
But Hunt never left home. The city he lived and worked in for more 88 years remained in the city of his birth, and his deep connection to Chicago, its energy, its people, its grit, and its beauty, informed every piece he made.
"he Hunt at Logan takes its name and its spirit from his legacy. The sculpture in our loge Flyaway, 1987) is a nod to his hand, his vision, and the understanding that creating somethin meaningful, whether in steel or on a plate, requires the same dedication to craft. We are honored to carry that name, and to build something in his image: lasting, purposeful, and rooted in the South Side of Chicago.
