      • Starts at $200
      • Serves Chicago, IL

      We provide thoughtfully curated catering that your group or event will love. We pride ourselves on an amazing experience and our customer service. We have been serving our communities since 2012 and look forward to serving you as well! We are a great option for those events that may not need table service. Brunches, BBQ's, rehearsal dinners. We do it all and have you covered!

      We do a lot of gigs and partner together with CaterCow. They provide us with good clients and do a lot of the legwork of selling, marketing, and figuring out the logistics of events like date, time, address, and headcount, so that all we have to do is show up. The team at CaterCow feels like family and we are in touch almost daily. We really appreciate their professionalism and kindness.

      • Starts at $3,000
      • Serves Chicago, IL for additional fees

      Welcome. Chef Jason started out in the kitchen at 15 years old as a dishwasher at Red Lobster washing dishes and baking. From there, he worked many cook’s lines until I earned my first chef position under Emeril Lagasse over ten years ago. He's went on to operating casino kitchens, private dining clubs. Since relocating from Atlanta, GA Jason has gained experience in kitchen consulting and new restaurant openings. After 25 years in the industry, He is now starting a new journey into the Private Chef sector. He refers to his style of cooking as Southern Creole cooking, where it’s much more than cooking…it’s about the overall experience.

      The Crain Experience was so amazing and easy to work with! Anytime I had questions they were so quick to get back to me. The food was delicious, the drinks were phenomenal, and the staff/bartenders were easygoing, professional, and personable. I could not recommend them more!
