WHO WE ARE

OUR STORY

Founded in 1979 on Chicago’s North Shore, Foodstuffs Events & Catering has grown from a gourmet food destination into one of the area’s most trusted catering companies. We serve over 90,000 guests annually with custom-crafted meals, creative menus, and top-tier hospitality. 

Whether you need bridal shower catering in Glencoe, delivery to your corporate office in Chicago, or grand opening catering in Schaumburg, we deliver unforgettable experiences every time. 

Our clients choose us not just for the food, but for how we make them feel: heard, supported, and celebrated.
