Food is the main theme at most events, narrowing down the catering companies in Chicago to pick the best caterer for the job can be a challenge. There are many catering companies to choose from but they all cannot deliver the type of food that you want for your event. Food is always the star whether it is an intimate gathering of 8 or a blow-out event of 500. People talk about the food as if it is an invited guest because it is that important. Your attendees will remember if your food was great and unfortunately they will also remember when it was not so great. So great is imperative!
The List
Hosting any occasion can be a challenge because you have to be able to please a wide range of palettes. There are a few basic tenets that you can use as your jumping off point because these basics will please even the most finicky palettes:
- Fresh sourced food ingredients
- Eclectic menu with different options
- Vegetarian/vegan options
You cannot beat fresh ingredients whether it is a breakfast meal, lunch meal, buffet or formal sit down, fresh rules the day. You can immediately cross off your list any caterer that is not committed to serving foods that are crafted with the freshest ingredients. Eclectic does not necessarily mean exotic but you do want to have different options to choose from so that you can offer your guests different options.
Vegetarian meals are a safe way to go for everyone. You can easily add a meat for those that prefer a meat dish but typically if you choose fish and plant based foods and you have an experienced caterer prepare it, you will satisfy everyone.
Food for Thought is a great option because of their commitment to fresh locally sourced ingredients and their eclectic menu items. You may be able to narrow your list down to one by checking out what they offer. Contact us at website
