Blue Plate - Chicago

Since 1983, Blue Plate has been Chicago’s most trusted partner for hospitality and food services. We cater at the city’s most iconic and unique special event venues and provide hospitality services to businesses, cultural institutions, not-for-profits and private homes throughout the Chicagoland area.  Our services range from Event Catering to Delivery and Business Dining

In 2017 Blue Plate moved into its custom designed 80KSF facility which houses our offices, entertaining spaces, tasting kitchen and a 20KSF state-of-the art commissary that was recently awarded USDA and FDA certification.  Our culinary team is devoted to bringing creative, sustainable and beautiful menus that match the city's most acclaimed restaurants. Blue Plate was the first Chicago caterer to earn the Green Restaurant Certification.

Blue Plate has employed thousands over the years, is one of Chicago’s top workplaces and maintains long-standing partnerships with local venues, businesses and non-profits.

At Blue Plate, we’re deeply devoted to our Chicago roots and take great pride in bringing a passion for food and service to every event we cater.  Every Blue Plate employee knows why we exist: To create joy through service.  From life celebrations to corporate gatherings and fundraisers, our team helps create an unforgettable event experience.
