Since 1987, Harry Caray's Restaurant Group (HCRG), led by Grant DePorter, has proven to be one of Chicago's most dynamic and successful restaurant management companies. The enterprise currently operates seven restaurants and an off-premise catering company.
HCRG opened its first restaurant, Harry Caray's Italian Steakhouse in Chicago’s River North neighborhood in 1987. The restaurant has since become a Chicago legend, and now offers additional locations in Rosemont and Lombard. Also located in Lombard, adjacent to Harry Caray’s, is Holy Mackerel!, HCRG’s fresh seafood concept. HCRG recently opened Harry Caray’s Tavern, a more casual version of the original Harry Caray’s, at Navy Pier in March 2010. Additionally, HCRG worked with the Chicago Cubs to develop and execute the Captain Morgan Club at Wrigley Field.
HCRG also operates Harry Caray's Seventh Inning Stretch, Midway Airport’s flagship restaurant. In addition, HCRG’s off-premise catering company, Harry Caray’s Catering & Events, caters many of Chicagoland's premier landmarks including the Newberry Library, Catalyst Ranch and Chicago's First Lady.
Named as one of the Top 75 Multiconcept Leaders in the Country by Restaurants and Institutions Magazine, HCRG continues to expand its ventures.
