The biggest successes can come from the smallest moments, and we make moments happen! The boxed lunches worked out great. Scott W. MEET TASTY Our Story Just like many other companies, a long list of “right time, right place, right people” moments describe the foundation of Tasty Catering. The company’s roots can be traced back to the 1980s with the opening of Tasty Dawg, the first of several fast food hot dog restaurants. The success of those restaurants led to the request for corporate catering, beginning with smaller lunch orders and soon growing into entire picnics and company events. Tasty Dawg’s catering division was booming, and with the addition of several key team members, brothers and owners Tom, Larry and Kevin turned the Tasty team’s focus to catering. Eventually, the three existing Tasty Dawg locations were shut down in favor of the full-time, full-service catering company Tasty Catering, which was now operating out of a commercial kitchen in Elk Grove Village, IL. With continued success and the addition of even more key employees, Tasty Catering made another leap—this time into a large 12,000-square-foot building—in 2005 to better accommodate the growth in sales, food and event production, services, menus and employees. Today, our team produces hundreds of events annually, from weddings and birthdays, to corporate meetings and galas, nonprofit fundraisers and festivals. We love catering events in the Chicago area and are honored to be a part of the Elk Grove Village community. 1989 FOUNDED 10,000+ EVENTS ANNUALLY 200+ TEAM MEMBERS A+ BBB ACCREDITED BUSINESS Our Team The Tasty Catering Team is made up of creatives, planners and foodies, and we wouldn’t be who we are today without each and every one of them.
