Crowds Gather

Chris Ocken Photography

It was a tale of two Epics when the EPIC creative teams, friends and fans gathered at State Street’s lively, vibrant Epic Burger for a legendary celebration. The launch party for three creative rallies drew approximately 150 people throughout the evening to sample great work—and great food.

Erin Huizenga, Director of EPIC, welcomed members of the Organic School Project, Literacy Chicago and Barrel of Monkeys. Each nonprofit group leader and EPIC creative director toasted the brilliant creative. The new ads, logos and designs were dramatically displayed on Epic Burger’s expansive bright orange and brown pop art walls.

Then, it was on to sampling favorites at the city’s latest eco-friendly spot for organic fast food—all-natural, locally raised, “mindful burgers,” hand cut, unprocessed fries, and portabello burgers with grilled onions. Epic Burger owner, David Friedman told us, “The crowd couldn’t be better. We’re having a great time.”

For both EPIC and Epic Burger, it was a night of deliciously creative genius with a conscious.
