OUR FOOD MANIFESTO Our team of highly skilled operatives serve a FROM-SCRATCH menu under the guidance of top culinary agents, Agents Pickles and Speed Racer (acclaimed chef Mark Weber). Every aspect of our menu has been scrutinized down to the type of oil we use to fry our food. We are proud to use local purveyors that provide the finest and freshest ingredients. From HANDCRAFTED steak burgers from Meat by Linz to HAND BREADED cheese curds from Ellsworth Farms to our soon-to-befamous Nachos Camp Stanley that are smothered in our very own blend of cheese sauce, Control ensures that each and every visiting spy is served simple, yet delicious food.

YOUR MISSION

81 22 5

On orders from Control, Station Chief, Agent OH-OH-7, (aka David Baldwin) opened the original SafeHouse in 1966. His operation was to be a refuge for spies, so he chose a location in an alleyway near the river, marked only with two gaslights and a nondescript nameplate – International Exports, Ltd. His vision for this hideaway, packed full of culturally iconic references and history, caught the public’s imagination and SafeHouse became a well-known landmark and destination. Agent Oh-Oh-7 and his wife, Agent Eliza, ran SafeHouse for nearly 50 years. Their team of spies became known for providing a warm and welcoming atmosphere for all who entered through Miss M’s office.

We have eyes everywhere. Every day, agents are on the prowl, tracing the source of local ingredients and securing them from our top suppliers. These ingredients are then smuggled into SafeHouse, and hand-assembled into fresh dishes by experienced chefs who want the best for our spies. Because our spies deserve fresh, local, authentic food. Our spies deserve to eat well before every mission.

CONSIDER IT FRESHNESS ACCOMPLISHED.

In early 2015, Control decided that it was time to share the iconic brand with the Windy City. Under the leadership of Agent BB (aka Greg Marcus), a secret location was selected in downtown Chicago. This location is marked by the same gaslight and inconspicuous nameplate. The is STILL required to enter, and no, we won’t divulge it. But don’t worry if you don’t know it. As you found out, visiting operatives can a fun clearance test to prove they aren’t a double agent, and then enter our world of global espionage and entertainment.

The SafeHouse is a refuge for spies that holds within its walls, a world consisting of sectors that house authentic espionage artifacts that mingle with pop culture references and spy paraphernalia. One may examine actual Cold War artifacts, including an actual piece of the Berlin Wall, or craft an alibi for themselves in the Instant Alibi Photo Booth. Then make sure to share it with the world via social media. Groups of spies are encouraged to convene and debrief over an iconic Spytini (shaken, not stirred) or partake in the deliciousness that is our world famous Spies Demise. DON’T FORGET TO TAKE HOME A SOUVENIR GLASS. There is so much to explore, but you already know that, don’t you? Take your time, enjoy your mission, and don’t forget, a good spy never leaves the same way they came in, so you are encouraged to find the secret way out. We too have never met the shadowy figure of Control, although you will see the watchful eye throughout your SafeHouse. Control’s identity will always remain top secret. The SafeHouse is a refuge for spies from all walks of life. Control hopes you enjoy your time here, whether you stopped in for a crafty cocktail or to enjoy our delicious food prepared with quality ingredients. We want your experience to be one you will long . NOW…read, memorize, chew, and swallow this message.
