CMB Catering - Catering in Chicago

CMB Catering brings chef-led food, professional service, and event coordination together for weddings, corporate functions, and social gatherings in Chicago. Our chef proprietor, Mychael Bonner, draws on decades of restaurant and hospitality experience to create menus for different kinds of events. We work with each client to shape the food and service around guest count, event format, venue, and dietary needs. Based at 2853 N Kedzie Avenue in Chicago, we offer both full-service catering and convenient pickup or drop-off options.

For full-service events, we coordinate menu planning, food preparation, serving staff, and rental logistics. Our rental offerings include tableware, linens, furniture, and décor, making it easier to coordinate the dining setup. For business luncheons, casual gatherings, and family celebrations, our drop-off service delivers prepared food to the venue. A $250 minimum applies to these orders, and additional taxes and service fees may apply.

Menus cover breakfast and brunch, boxed lunches, party pans, hors d’oeuvres, grazing stations, seasonal plated dinners, desserts, and beverages. Choices include beef short ribs, salmon, catfish, jerk chicken, shrimp and grits, mushroom risotto, soups, salads, Southern-style sides, and vegetarian and vegan dishes. Guests can also choose beverage packages, nonalcoholic drinks, coffee and tea, a mimosa bar, or bar packages featuring wine, beer, and spirits.

For special occasions, we offer cooking demonstrations, farm-to-table dining, an Italian feast, Southern comfort meals, and carving stations. Whether you are hosting a wedding reception, business dinner, cocktail party, or private family gathering, we aim to provide a flexible, well-coordinated meal that suits the event and makes hosting easier.
