The Wellington Catering Company won the conccessions monoply for food at the fair! Wellington Catering Company had a warehouse that covered 9 acres of land, and that housed over 2,000 cooks, dishwashers, and waiters, just to be able to opperate all food concessions at Chicago's World Fair of 1893.

Not only did the Wellington company provide food but also cigars.

By promising to give back 25% of their gross to the exposition, the company recieved the right of requiring all the other restauraunts, that opperated on the fairground, to buy from their provisions. By having all these other restaurants, the variety of food increased, creating more fun and experiencable food/eating time. Wellington Restaurant: boiled meat, potatoes, bread, and sweet desert

Some of the other restaurants that were owned: Irish Village which offered: oatmeal, potatoes, corned beef, and freckle bread...and imported ales and stouts.
