On this Earth Day, we wanted to take a moment to say how much we believe in--and support--sustainable practices. Since our industry is one of extreme excess and waste, we feel a great responsibility to help impact change and do our part to forge a greener future. We cared about the environment and sustainability long before it was the trendy thing to do. We have implemented myriad sustainable practices in our commissary and at our events. We have a robust composting program. And we work with organizations to redistribute surplus food to those in need (a win for the environment AND for our community members!). And we are proud to be one of only two caterers in the nation that are 4 Star Green Restaurant Certified.⁠
⁠
Happy Earth Day!⁠

Spring, is that you? 🌷🌸

We are SO ready for the spring season- bright colors, fresh vibes, a whole new energy- only to wake up to SNOW. BECAUSE, of course, Chicago! ❄️🌇

So while Mother Nature figures it out, we’ll be over here eating beautiful food in puffy coats next to the space heater, and pretending 40 degrees is patio weather.

We are dreaming of the hope of spring, even if we’re still wearing gloves and shoveling snow.

We held our first MIBE (@_the_mibe) Mind Mashup...and it was a fabulous time! MIBE (Make It Better Everyday) is our culture platform. The Mind Mashup was an opportunity to gather, play some catering-related trivia, and generally have a wonderful time! We learned! We noshed! And most importantly, we all had fun TOGETHER!⁠

🌟Elevating with Heart at the MIBE Summit!
We just wrapped up an awesome experience at the annual MIBE Summit, where hospitality professionals gathered to embrace heart leadership and the power of Make It Better Everyday. From inspiring speakers to transformative conversations, every moment reaffirmed our commitment to creating a great place to work and exceptional experiences for our clients.
Hospitality isn’t just what we do- it’s who we are. And each year at this summit, we are reminded that true excellence comes from leading with passion, purpose, and people at the center of everything.
We are grateful to @_the_mibe for the insights, the connections, and the motivation to keep making it better- every single day. 💙

And that’s a wrap on 2024. We did a lot of really cool things as a team this year but this event where nearly every single one of our employees contributed is definitely the one we think of most to sum up our year.
Cheers to the challenges, the successes, the hard work, the incredible hospitality we get the privilege to be a part of and to our amazing team who makes it happen every day! We can’t wait for 2025! Happy New Years Friends!

🎄🍪 What a SWEET time we had this morning at our Annual Cookie & Ugly Christmas Sweater Showdown! The holiday spirit was off the charts as we embraced this year’s theme: Eras- whether that meant a nod to Taylor Swift or a creative twist on what “era” means to you!
From prehistoric, to Spice Girls, to token 90s kid, to Mama Kelce, to a rainbow era, our team brought the festive energy and plenty of laughs. And the cookies? Let’s just say we’ve all got a sugar rush to carry us (or weigh us down) for the rest of the day. 😉

Our newest blog post is now live: Celebrating the Holidays with the Magic of Food: A Feast for the Senses and the Soul.⁠
⁠
"The holidays are a time for togetherness, joy, and celebration, and nothing brings people together quite like the magic of food. Across cultures and continents, food plays a central role in holiday festivities. From the heartwarming aroma of a roasting turkey to the delicate sweetness of a holiday cookie, food evokes memories, creates new traditions, and nourishes both body and soul.⁠
⁠
Food during the holidays isn't merely about sustenance; it's an expression of culture, a vessel of memories, a catalyst for connection, and an opportunity to express gratitude. It's the homemade pie that tastes like childhood, the aromatic spices that tell stories of distant lands, and the shared meals that forge unbreakable bonds. Let's embark on a flavorful adventure to explore how the magic of food enriches our holiday celebrations, transcends borders, and unites hearts."⁠

Mocha Mousse: A Color, A Taste, A Vibe. The Panton

Mocha Mousse: A Color, A Taste, A Vibe.
The Pantone color of the year is Mocha Mousse- a rich, velvety shade that embodies confort, indulgence, and timeless sophistication.

We brought it to life with our chocolate mousse “bump” tasting experience. Our guests indulged their senses with this luxurious pairing of color and flavor featuring mocha mousse at its finest form…chocolate.

Scoop, bump, and savor the decadence!
