We were married 2 weeks ago and couldn't have asked for a better experience. Late to the Lake was the perfect wedding caterer for our special day! From the moment we first reached out, they were a great listener, quick to respond, attentive, caring, and friendly. Their communication style put us at ease throughout the planning process. The quality of their work was nothing short of perfection - the food they served was outstanding, memorable, and absolutely delicious! They went above and beyond to make our wedding day extra special, even creating a custom menu just for us. Additionally, they paid extreme attention to detail for our guests with severe allergies, ensuring everyone was able to fully enjoy the meal. We couldn't have asked for a better catering experience and are so grateful to Late to the Lake for helping make our wedding day truly unforgettable. Would recommend to anyone! Thank you Alicia and Team!

Chi-cuterie Boards and More LLC 

5.0

  • Serves Darien, IL

I’m Michelle, owner and creator of Chi-cuterie. For me, food is a way to express love, share stories, open hearts, and create community. My passion is to make sharing food fun, and most importantly, stress-free! My husband and I grew up in the South with family values deeply rooted in a love of family, food, and community – hospitality is at my core. And now, I am thrilled to bring my own unique spin to “the board” with Chi-cuterie. The finest local ingredients, artisan legacy boards, and the flavors of Chicago from our professionally certified kitchen to your event.

Awarded Best of Zola
I was familiar with but hadn’t paid too much attention to charcuterie before I saw what Michelle at Chi-cuterie was doing. After creating boards and teaching others how to do the same, she launched an official business this year and is killing it. We worked together when I photographed her sample boards for her new website. I could not believe how beautiful, copious, fresh, and artistically creative her arrangements were. I saw charcuterie a whole new way. I also love how versatile they are, be it for a gift, a party spread, a giveaway, or a unique and fun appetizer offering. I have since noticed other variations on a theme but Michelle’s creations really stand out!

The Crain Experience 

5.0

  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Darien, 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.

I would recommend Crain Experience anytime Chef Renny & Chef Jason was absolutely wonderful!
