Cajun Cafe Chicago
135 N Kedzie Ave, Chicago 60612
Overview :
Every event has a different purpose, so we build our catering around the people, schedule, and setting. Cajun Cafe Chicago launched in 2022 under Founder and Executive Chef Lashon Burrell, bringing Southern cooking and hospitality to corporate teams, nonprofits, and hosts across Chicago. Our approach centers on dependable service, thoughtful preparation, and food that helps people connect, whether they are gathering for a business meeting, a community program, or a milestone celebration.
Our menus draw on Cajun and Southern traditions, with dishes such as Bayou Chicken, Shrimp Etouffee, Cajun Red Beans and Rice, Southern Greens, Buttermilk Cornbread, and Catfish Po’ Boys. We prepare food for corporate dining, board meetings, business summits, holiday parties, award ceremonies, weddings, and other special events. Clients can request a custom menu to suit their group and occasion.
We offer three service styles to match different needs. Contactless delivery and drop-off work well for offices and meetings, while executive setup includes prepared food in serving pans, platters, bowls, and disposable serving items. For full-service events, we add service supervision, chafers, china, flatware, glassware, and banquet staff. We also arrange bar and beverage service, including beer and wine, signature cocktails, full-bar options, and non-alcoholic drinks.
Beyond the food, we support planning through event-day coordination and connections with venue, décor, floral, photography, and entertainment professionals. Our team also contributes to local community initiatives, including meal donations and food drives. Based at 135 N. Kedzie Avenue in Chicago, we work to make event catering straightforward, welcoming, and well organized from the first menu discussion to setup and service.
