The People Behind the Plates

Catering Made Simple is more than a name—it’s our promise. We’re a team of service-first professionals dedicated to making your event easier, more enjoyable, and deliciously memorable.

How It All Started

Catering Made Simple began in 2013, when founder Greg Chanthalusy brought together years of restaurant experience, a deep love for great food, and a desire to make events more convenient—and more personal.

Greg didn’t just want to start a catering company. He wanted to build a team that cared. One that showed up on time, paid attention to the details, and made clients feel like they could actually enjoy their events.

What started with a handful of drop-off orders quickly grew into a full-service operation serving clients across the greater Chicagoland area—from Fortune 500s and hospitals to on-set film crews.

What We Stand For

You’ll find these values in every event we touch:

  • Service First – We show up on time, communicate clearly, and stay flexible.

  • Elevated Simplicity – Our food is elegant and approachable—never overcomplicated.

  • Team Commitment – From chefs to drivers to event staff, we move as one.

  • Client Respect – We treat every order like it matters. Because it does.
