We wanted to create a customized menu that would give our family and friends a more personalized, fine dining experience and Missy and the team knocked it out of the park - it was amazing! For cocktail hour, we had some fun bites - tuna tartare, lamb chops, shrimp​, mac and cheese bites, but each one of these was​ easy to eat and had a modern update to them - our guests kept telling us how wonderful they were! For dinner, we did a plated meal with a customized first course. My husband used to own a farm and they harvested sweet corn. Missy and her culinary team wrote an entire first-course​ trio based around corn as the ingredients - everyone loved it! And for entrees, we had a choice of halibut or filet which were major hits - and the vegetarian option was out of this world too! Desserts seemed to keep on coming. There were so many bites, everyone kept taking more and more and more - and they were so good! And it all ended with Chicago Style Hot dogs for our out of town guests and walking tacos - let's​ just say, no one went hungry. Missy, you and your team did an incredible job making the wedding come together. It was such an amazing evening and we could have not done this without you and your team!

Blue Plate catered, staffed, and sourced tables, chairs, tablecloths, and more for our 340 person September wedding in Chicago. While our guests have been raving about the service and food, I have been raving about Leah Farrell, the sales rep we had been lucky enough to work with from the very beginning. Leah is professional, kind, intelligent, flexible and responsive. She was easy to work with and although there was a lot of moving pieces, she made the process enjoyable along the way too. Seriously, the food was so good. We had friends who joked it was the first time they went to a wedding and the entire table had completely clean plates after dinner.

Could not have nicer things to say about working with My Chef and Jamie Walsh for our wedding day…read morecatering. We met Jamie at our venue's vendor expo and were immediately impressed by their services, pricing, and vast food offerings. It was a no brainer to book with their group! We had our tasting a couple months before our wedding day; which is complimentary to the couple and a $50 charge for any additional guest to join. They have you select 8-10 appetizers, 2 salads, and 4 entrees to taste at their Naperville location. They also have displays of china, silverware, glasses and more to help couples select what aligns aesthetically for their special day. Jamie worked with us to make small modifications to their standard offerings to make the food exactly what we wanted! Our wedding day came and we were floored by the quality/presentation of food, level of detail in place settings, and service from all staff members. We had multiple guests say that this was some of the best wedding food they've had, steaks were not over cooked, and food tasted fresh. Jamie also let us add desserts a week out to reallocate money from a couple of guests who last minute were unable to attend. Their team was even nice enough to service items not purchased through their group: disposables for the late night snack, display and refilling of cupcakes, etc. Overall, their group went above and beyond for us under Jamie's leadership. Our tables looked great, our food was wonderful, and their team was fabulous. We truly appreciate all they've done for us and could not recommend them more! Appetizers Selected: Mac & Cheese Bites, Bacon Wrapped Dates w Honey Citrus Sauce, Cocktail Meatballs, Bruschetta Bar Salad Selected: Mixed Field Greens w Pears, Goat Cheese, Pear Infused Vinaigrette. *Alts: Candied Walnuts & Second Balsamic Dressing to offer Dinner Selections: 1.

Disappointing experience despite a fresh and new business relationship. We have used this catering…read morecompany for multiple corporate events and have spent considerable money with them. Historically, the food and service have been very good, which makes our experience with our most recent BBQ event particularly disappointing. The weather was questionable the morning of the event, so we understood the decision to precook the burgers and brats. However, the weather ultimately cooperated, and the event proceeded as planned. We specifically requested that we use at least one large gas grill we provided, even if only to keep the grill/char lines going, but that did not happen. The catering team arrived on time, but the setup was not completed as expected. Two chefs who had originally been scheduled to be onsite to cook the food ultimately spent much of the event standing around with very little involvement. More importantly, the food was served lukewarm to cold even though it arrived in hotboxes, and some food was undercooked/raw. The sternos were not lit until well after the food had been set up and less than 10 minutes before mealtime, which did little to address the temperature problem. For the price we paid, the quality of service and temperature of the food were simply not acceptable. I immediately raised my concerns with the event planner after the event. When I didn't receive a follow-up, I emailed to express our disappointment. To the event planner's credit, she responded and said the owner wanted to address the matter personally and would contact me after returning from out of town. That was over a month ago, and we have still received no communication. A coworker who also helps coordinate our company events separately contacted her point of contact at the company, but also received no response. What is most disappointing is not simply that one event did not meet expectations. We have been a significant repeat customer, and we expected our concerns to be acknowledged and addressed professionally. Instead, we received no follow-up at all. We have had good experiences with this caterer in the past, which is why this situation has been frustrating. Unfortunately, the combination of cold food, a lack of attention during the event, and zero follow-up afterward has made us decide to seek catering elsewhere for our corporate events.

She is thoughtful, communicative and just so charming! I am gluten free, but Alyson and the whole Hearty Boys crew made sure I had my own gluten free version of every Hors d'oeuvres. We had about 150 guests. Everyone loved the food and the service and they were so accommodating with guests who had restrictions. Wedding decision fatigue is real. Let this be your sign to make the easy decision to choose Hearty Boys! You'll be in wonderful hands!

When we did our tasting, we knew pretty quickly they were the top, both because the food was several levels above what we'd tasted with other caterers, and because Derek asked us great questions throughout the tasting to better understand what we needed for our event, and to make great recommendations & help us think through aspects that hadn't even occurred to us yet. We had quite a few people in the weeks after the wedding reach out to say that they've never had better food at a wedding, and that was our experience too! They also staff the event incredibly well, and each of the team members we interacted with was a pro. Definitely add them to your list, and expect them to beat everyone else!

Naveen is a wonderful guy and makes cooking so approachable and enjoyable. The class was the perfect combination of instructional and fun. We learned so much throughout the evening, but everything was presented in such an approachable and enjoyable way. The Indian dishes we prepared were truly some of the best I've ever had--absolutely delicious, beautifully seasoned, and made with incredibly fresh, high-quality ingredients. What I especially love about these classes is that you don't just enjoy a fantastic meal--you leave feeling like you've actually learned something and can recreate the dishes at home. A wonderful experience from start to finish. After two terrific classes, I'm already looking forward to my third!

I've never done anything like that before so Daniel and Jess helped me feel comfortable and were extremely responsive to emails.

It felt fancy, yet they are very reasonably priced. Since so many of my guests have young children that are still unvaccinated, I confirmed Daniel the chef was vaccinated and he wore a mask the entire time.

The fish is fried well and the hot honey sauce was a good addition, but not amazing. Just regular hot sauce is good for the fish. The green beans are seasoned well and not spicy in my opinion.

The initial delivery took so long that we didn't bother to ask for them to send it. The corn muffin was also really good! If you're visiting Chicago, I wouldn't say that this is a must-visit place.
